Hi folks!

I hope everyone’s term is wrapping up nicely and you are finding time to relax despite the chaos!

The LFS TA training program would like to hear about your experience during the 2022-2023 year, so we can continue to serve your needs.

We’ve created a short feedback survey that we would LOVE to have you fill out.

Those who complete the survey will be entered into a drawing for two $5 coffee cards!

We will be selecting the winners on Monday, April 17^th (the survey will close on April 14^th at 11:59pm PDT).

Your feedback means a lot to us and is how we can best craft programs and workshops to suit your needs!

Please let us know if you have any concerns/questions above and beyond this survey – we are here for you!
