In 2024, we began the year with a review of our society’s overall health. You can read the report in this article. This year, the Public Relations and Communications Committee has decided to make monitoring the well-being of our society an annual tradition. In doing so, we hope to inspire all members to actively support the growth and sustainability of our community.
Like we have expressed many times before in different formats, we treat the ISTFP as a living entity that can prosper or dwindle over time. Again this year we will explore the picture given by the data from 10 arbitrarily determined health markers. It will help us answer three essential question:
Where do we thrive?
Where do we struggle?
How can we nurture our community?
