Hello Neil
Thank you for sharing the news of the imminent launch of the Global Survey on 21st August and for all the work that you, your small team, and other members to get us to this point. Well done all round.
I hope that with over 20,000 enthusiastic members and over 400 Supporting Organisations, it may not be too hard to achieve 10,000 respondents to the survey.
Let's do it, if we share the survey [ www.hifa.org/survey2023 ] with our personal and institutional platforms.
