Thank you for taking the time to become a Best Friends Panel Research Member! By participating in our research program, you are playing an important role in shaping the future of Best Friends as we continue to grow.

By completing this profile survey and becoming a panel member, you are indicating your commitment to helping animals — thank you.

Once we collect the following personal data from you, we will keep your name on file (in absolute confidence). Then, throughout the year, as our editorial development needs arise, we'll come back to you via email with future surveys to complete from time to time. We'll be surveying and testing new and potential concepts for Best Friends Magazine. Once you become a valued Best Friends Panelist, we'll trust that your feedback for our 2006 surveys is honest and forthright, and most importantly, that you'll hold our survey efforts in confidence, just as we'll hold your feedback in confidence.

We sincerely appreciate your time and commitment to Best Friends and promise that we'll put your time and feedback to good use; we reassure you — the bottom line is that the animals will benefit from this research initiative.

Thank you in advance for your participation! Carla Davis Editorial Director Best Friends Magazine
