Dear Loyal Readers of Transformational Times 

As we continue our Under Construction work on the new platform for TT 2.0, we wanted to take a moment to thank you all for the feedback provided in our recent Reader’s Survey, and to share a few brief announcements about exciting news from our team.   

The editorial team has been hard at work behind the scenes, as we plan a major metamorphosis for TT 2.0. We greatly appreciate the 72 responses to our survey; they brought renewed vigor and clarity about our task ahead. 

The survey revealed that what readers appreciate most is the personal, story-like, nature of the perspectives and opinions that are published. Additionally, it was validating to discover that each segment of TT was appreciated by many readers (directors’ corner, perspectives/opinions, questions of the week, announcements about events, as well as the poetry section). Several individuals gave us reason to pause and consider additional new features, for example audio visual media (including podcasts and visual art.)  

It was humbling to learn that we need a more diverse representation of viewpoints, and that we have tended to be "medical school" and "physician" heavy thus far. We plan to be intentional about embracing and operationalizing this constructive criticism. 

Please look for these (and more) changes soon, and we greatly appreciate your ongoing investment in TT, which is as much yours as it is ours! 

 

Sincerely, 

The co-editors-in-chief of Transformational Times
