Re: CHAIRMAN'S AWARD PRESENTATION HELP

It's all good.

For Powerpoint, keep it to 4 word bullet points. If you write a coherent sentence you are writing too much. Speak to the bullets, don't read them.

Allow 1 slide for every 3-5 minutes, get your point across without fluff. Every word you say should count.

For example:
Slide 2: COMMUNITY SERVICE
* Girl Scouts & Lego
* Flood cleanup
* Blood Drive
* Drainage Grate markings

(Then you speak about how your team went out to three different Girl Scout troops and helped them form FLL teams, mentored them, for 3 years now. Then how the whole team went to a flood-ravaged neighborhood last year and helped the residents clean up and repair their houses - the best part was pushing that 10 x 16 shed about 20 feet back to its foundation. And so on...)

Tell stories, make it interesting, practice in front of friends, mirrors, and video cameras until you sound natural. KNOW the subject thoroughly, do not interrupt each other, and work as a team in the presentation.

I'm sure others will offer their best advice as well.

Don
