Centre promises "personal education," and a big part of "personal" is knowing the individuals who are part of your community. For that reason, we frequently include a photo of the person making a Notesworthy submission—to help bring "names and faces together." If you prefer not to have your picture included, just say so on your submission and we'll honor that personal request as well.
