Dear RDA UK volunteers and staff,

Today, we are launching a consultation into the RDA strategy 2022-2025. A presentation of our plans is available on YouTube at https://youtu.be/5JRwaASX0WY , which includes a link to the feedback survey in the description below the film.

The presentation is 30 minutes, and the survey will take 10-15 minutes. We appreciate this is quite a commitment, but please take this opportunity to take part and give your feedback.

The consultation closes on 1 December.
