TOPIC IDEA & THEME
Overall, presentations are designed to be educational in nature, as a value add to our members and the community at large
With a diverse mix of attendees, it’s better to keep presentations at a top level of the topic, with the ability to go into more detail if questions arise
Using current events as examples is a good way to help the audience relate and understand key points
