​

Here’s how it works:

​

1. Submit Your Projects & Plans: Fill out the Best of MDS Awards form by Monday, December 16. You can submit for one or both categories—2024 projects or 2025 plans.
2. Present at the Meeting: On December 19, share a quick 2-minute presentation (it can be casual, no slides required!) about your work.
3. Vote for the Winners: Meeting attendees will vote for their favorite projects, and winners will receive exclusive OMF swag and, of course, bragging rights! 🎉

​

Our goal is to create a fun space to reflect on our shared progress, connect with peers, and celebrate the impact of MDS.
