Hi everyone,
(This is the post that I've been waiting a long time to make... ) I have some great news: TMS will soon have its own nonprofit! There is still a tremendous amount to learn about this stuff, but I thought that I would let you all know what is going on. The original impetus for creating the nonprofit came from this wiki. Throughout the life of the wiki, I think that some people have wondered if there was a hidden agenda to make money. The people at this forum trust the wiki because of the work of its members to raise the profile of TMS -- for example, we've organized several free online events, given talks at annual events, and are helping to organize a national TMS conference. However, the average person who doesn't know anything about TMS and finds us through Google may wonder if they can trust us or if we are just using fake claims of easy miracle cures to make money. This is a huge shame, because it seems vitally important to reach that type of person. Learning about TMS could change their lives in a big way. We all know this, right? This idea was driven home to me recently when the Director of Corporate Communications of a large corporation volunteered some of his time to look at the wiki and give us some suggestions (this was through Peg's and my work helping to organize the next TMS conference). He said that concerns about a hidden moneymaking agenda are exactly what we need to worry about. His advice was that we need to make sure that people know that we are not some sort of money making operation and that our only intention is to help other people who are going through what we went through (or what we are still going through).
Do you find this valuable?
