Post-award requirements
Each grant awardee will:

This contribution can take many forms depending on your strengths, interests, and availability. Examples of contributions include:
- Brown bag share-back session (e.g. sit on a panel and share ideas that you learned from an event)
- Program presentation (e.g. present a presentation you took to a conference)
- Blog or Vlog to be featured on the JACADA website and/or in the newsletter
- Poster to be presented at JACADA Professional Development Day
