In 2025, AMIA will mark its 35th anniversary, a milestone that calls for both celebration and reflection. We think it's also a good time to check in about our journey so far and chart our course for the future. But here's the thing: we can't do it alone. We need your help, your insights, your perspective. As a member of the community, your feedback is absolutely crucial in helping us make plans for the future. All responses will remain anonymous, and the survey should take about 15 minutes to complete. Your participation is truly appreciated! Take the survey here: https://loom.ly/K0SZgJY
