Shawnette:
It is clear what we will have on this web page from the
below draft. What I need is a a suitable graphic of the
presenter and a short narrative. I think what I already have
here gives you the general format from last year's page. The
blank spaces are the needs. I'd like to have at least one
hyper-link from each bio-narrative, if possible. |
