BIGS Feature Presentation: How to Share Your Family History in a 3-Minute Story

October 16 @ 10:00 am - 12:00 pm

Presented by Sunny Jane Morton. In this anniversary year, how can you share what your family’s story means to America’s larger story? Most of the time, family and friends only want the 3-minute version—so make it powerful. Learn how to choose the most meaningful moments, shape them into compelling stories, and deliver them with confidence. Whether you’re speaking at a family gathering or a community commemoration, you’ll discover how to make your family history resonate.

This is a Zoom-only presentation and advance registration is required. Registration link will be posted here in October.
