Where did you get the comment from? Was there a score sheet given?
How do I get it?

On our feedback sheet, we received full "currently strong" marks, no "needs improvement" marks, and (thankfully) didn't receive any comment dealing with needing more passion. We did receive notes about providing a business plan, increasing our efforts to give back to our community, and giving more thanks to our sponsors.
As for trying to avoid getting the more passion comment, the first step would be avoiding actually scripting the presentation. Have major points to hit, and leave it up to the presenters on how to actually word it. Don't be a stickler when they are rehearsing on exactly how they say it. Allow for it to be conversational, and make sure you give them something exciting and unique to get passionate about. A lot of it also is based on who is presenting. Pick people who are skilled public speakers. The type of people who step up to the challenge at outreach events, who are out in front of the team answering the questions. People who are involved, committed, and know the team and are capable of answering questions and knowing the presentation without having to memorize it.
