You should see something that looks like this on your own computer desktop in the upper right corner. If you have joined the presentation listening using your computer's speaker system by default, and you would prefer to join over the telephone, just select “Telephone” in the Audio pane and the dial-in information will be displayed. Also, as always, we’ve blocked off a few minutes at the end of today’s event to answer your questions! To submit a question to today’s presenters, type it into the Questions pane of the control panel on the right hand side of the screen. You may submit questions at any time during the presentation; we will collect these and try to address as many as possible during the Q&A session at the end of today’s presentation. You can also submit them thru twitter using #GivingTuesday
