Twin Cities Op4G
The Alzheimer's Association is pleased to announce our new and innovative partnership with Op4G (Opinions4Good). Op4G maintains an anonymous membership database and allows access to it for consumer research. Hundreds of people have visited their site to become members and expand their support of nonprofits like ours by participating in paid market research activities. If you choose, you can sign up to be "member" and will answer a variety of demographic questions about yourself. Later, you will be contacted when Op4G has a survey need that fits with your demographic information. You'll be paid for your participation, as will the Alzheimer's Association.
