Tuesday's call will be a good opportunity to ask any final questions about end of year reporting, as well as share any lessons learned this year. Your lesson could be a new seed collecting technique, an easy way to identify a tricky species, or a shoutout to
someone who provided excellent local guidance who you think future collectors should communicate with.</div>

At the end of the call, I will go over some of the updates to the SOS Technical Protocol that will take effect in 2022. I will be using Powerpoint, so I would recommend joining via computer rather than phone if you have that option.</div>
