<span style="font-family: -webkit-standard;">Dear IGS Colleagues,</span></div>
<div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">
<p class="MsoNormal" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: -webkit-standard; font-size: 14px;">
The IGS Governing Board and Central Bureau are in the process of developing the next IGS Strategic Plan, under the direction of our new IGS GB Chair, Gary Johnston, Geoscience Australia. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: -webkit-standard; font-size: 14px;">
This plan should address the goals and objectives of the IGS from 2017-2020. This planning process will build upon the current Strategic Plan – which you can see here:</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: -webkit-standard; font-size: 14px;">
<a href="http://kb.igs.org/hc/en-us/articles/201747733-Strategic-Plan-2013-2016">http://kb.igs.org/hc/en-us/articles/201747733-Strategic-Plan-2013-2016</a></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: -webkit-standard; font-size: 14px;">
We really want to get valuable input, comments, insights, from you – within IGS - in order to best collect your thoughts, comments, and suggestions. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: -webkit-standard; font-size: 14px;">
We have developed an online survey – note that all questions are <b><i>OPTIONAL </i></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: -webkit-standard; font-size: 14px;">

<p class="MsoNormal" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: -webkit-standard; font-size: 14px;">
Most appreciated if you could take the time to participate in this survey – to the extent possible. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i>Again – all questions are optional, so you are free to answer as many or as few questions as you wish – you may also submit the survey anonymously for added privacy.</i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: -webkit-standard; font-size: 14px;">

<p class="MsoNormal" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: -webkit-standard; font-size: 14px;">
We will distribute a second, much shorter survey to a wider, external audience in the next few weeks. This external survey will also be made available via a link on the <a href="http://igs.org/" class="">IGS.org</a> webpage.</p>
