Do the Twitter Challenge! #ProudToBeGIM Week
Seriously. We want to raise awareness about ProudToBeGIM Week which is this week, February 25 – March 1, 2019.
Here’s the idea: we challenge you to post a short video (<1 minute) or a few words and perhaps an action photo to describe why you love being GIM. Then challenge 3 other GIM Twitter colleagues to do the same.
