We ask that everyone participate, but only upload 2-3 works per specialist.
   There are a few slides at the beginning giving format guidance. Please inquire if you have questions. The closer you adhere to the requested format the easier it will be for YAM Chair Victor Daniel of Helena and I to prepare for presentation.

After that deadline, Victor and I will refine the presentation, convert it to a movie file, and upload it to YouTube.
We will post the virtual show on the MAEA website and send out a link via email so you can use it on your school and district websites, for promotion in local businesses and board meetings or anywhere there is a screen connected to the internet.
