We have planned some time for folks to share about their big 2021 thing (interpret as you will). Each person gets 1 minute and 1 slide to explain. Fill your minute, but try not to go over (we'll be timing you!) Most importantly — this should be fun!

Please come prepared: Save your image on your computer, have it open, and when it's your turn, you will simply share your screen and voila!
