<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0"><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">Dear PAIG Members,</span></p>
<div class="" style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;"><br class="">
</div>
<div class="" style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">I’m writing to draw your attention the SMT Interest Group survey, which was recently sent to SMT members (see forwarded message below). This survey is a project of the IG Task Force, which is chaired
by PAIG’s founder Daphne Leong.</div>
<div class="" style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;"><br class="">
</div>
<div class="" style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">I would like to encourage all PAIG members to take a moment to complete the survey. Your anonymous responses will provide PAIG with valuable feedback about our activities, and they will also provide
the broader SMT community with information about the role of interest groups within our society. It’s important that those of us who actively participate in interest groups complete the survey so that our perspectives will be represented in the results.</div>
<div class="" style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;"><br class="">
</div>
<div class="" style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">The survey, which closes on Thursday, March 22, can be accessed with the following link:</div>

<span class="" style="font-size: 11pt;">As you know, the interest groups of the SMT have played an increasingly greater role in the activities of the society. The Interest Groups Task Force was appointed by President Hatten to explore questions related to the
interest groups. We would like to ask for your feedback. It will provide important input into the recommendations we make both to the Executive Board and to IG chairs. (Data is anonymous, and that from Part 2 will also be shared with the relevant IG chairs).
