What difference has participating in the LAO community made to you?

Have you changed in any way since you started participating in the LAO community? If so, how?

How would things be different for you if you hadn't participated in the LAO community?

If you were recommending the LAO community to someone else in a similar position, what benefits would you describe to them?

Is there anything else that you would like to say about your experiences in the LAO community that you have not had an opportunity to say?
