We especially want to know about the topics you’re most interested in and ways we can improve our publication. Please help us by expressing your opinions and ideas in a brief survey, which should take approximately seven minutes to complete. All but those questions marked “optional” must be answered to complete the survey.
The survey form, which is online at URL, will be available through [Date to Come]. All responses will be anonymous and will be used solely for the purpose of improving our newsletter. Everyone’s feedback is important to us!
