Yes, the message at the top of the email we received does state not to forward, which is why I did not do so. If and when the training does branch out to the membership as a whole, which I fully expect it may, leadership will make sure the information is distributed appropriately. If you did not receive the original email, please do not take the survey. If you have a question as to whether you should have received it originally, please reach out to me and I can assist in clarifying this.
