Track the presentations- number given, number of students reached, and impact of the topic on students or their community. 4. Submit tracking documents to Terry Brier, Youth Awareness coordinator for Oregon Moose Association by the given deadline. brierpatch63@live.com 5. From there, the entries will be judged and 1 or more students will selected to represent Oregon at the National level in the springtime.
