I am seeking feedback for our annual CTPND newsletter. Each year, I develop a theme, build out the framework for who will write what, and hope that we have provided new information to someone reading the newsletter. This year I want to do things a bit differently.... what sort of updates would YOU like to see? Research? Staff backgrounds? Infrastructure changes? Would love to hear from you and your family!
