Chairman's Interview

[Carol]

Be aware that the 10 minutes with the judges includes set up time. So if you have a powerpoint presentation or something complicated, it will eat into your time with the judges. We used four posters last year. The presenters carried in two easels with them and would swap out the posters during the presentation.

Another key was that our presenters practiced, over and over again. Even to practicing walking into the room, setting up the easel, and swapping out the posters. For their presentation they wrote a script which they memorized (although they did have notes on the back of the posters). Basically they highlighted some of our various programs and some facts and figures about the team.

Our essay and posters, and the script that the presenters used from last year are on our web site - they only used four of the posters shown and I don't remember which three.

P.S. It is so nice not having to worry about this award ever again! We are instead working on our Hall of Fame display and video. And we are in the process of shipping back the clock - sniff, sniff - to be presented to this year's winner. Good luck to you all!
