Tell us what you like about the Desk — and what you'd like to see improved.

We recently asked for a few minutes of your time. If you've already taken our audience survey, thank you! You can ignore this email.
If you haven't yet, we'd still love your input. We're about halfway through our collection window, and we want to make sure we're hearing from a wide range of followers — not just the most active ones.
Here's why it matters: We're in the middle of rethinking our website and sharpening our understanding of who pays attention to our work and why. The people who respond to surveys like this tend to be the ones who care the most. If that's you, we especially want to hear from you.
→ Take the survey here: https://tally.so/r/A7956l (about 5–7 minutes)
The survey closes soon. We'll share what we learn.
Sincerely,
Sara Shipley Hiles
Executive Director,
