Update - Report to Share in the 20th Anniversary Congress Booklet

Please write your report in the format below. For an example, click on this page: http://bonnernetwork.pbworks.com/Big-Idea-Summaries
1) Title (of your project/big idea - feel free to update from the fall).

3) The Solution: What is your Big Idea? What was the idea to tackle this challenge? This should be no more than 300 words.
4) The Process: Tell us in more detail what your Big Idea is. Please illustrate how your “Big Idea” addresses the root issues of the problems you are working with.

Please upload 2-3 relevant photos (of your Reps, project, etc.). Try to select photos that have high resolution quality. This will appear in the booklet.
