**Notes:**
This is the only file (e-mail attachment) you will need to do a great presentation! Use the overheads as your briefing notes. Overheads appear in the same sequence as they will appear in the Student Guide. The overhead above shows the students what page to turn to.
The overhead also tells you how many minutes your entire presentation should take, including time for questions and comments. If the overhead has “Includes Case Study” you will need to budget that time to complete the case study as well. Case studies are required, and appear (with textbook answers) as the last of these overheads. This is because case studies build on lecture and get learners actively involved in personalizing the information. They make it interesting and fun, too!
Your primary job in preparation is to make sure the information on the overheads is correct, complete, and current. You may need to check the CAP regulations  and forms; and you may need to consult key CAP members for more information. Their e-mail addresses are usually found in the Wing web page.
If you add, delete, or change any overhead, need audio-visual devices (other than an overhead projector) and/or copies of your handouts, please contact the Activity Director no later than one week before the first class day of the activity. This allows time to make changes, run copies (including overheads) and put them in binders. After that date, if you choose to print your own handout materials, you may do so, but at your own expense. 
Please wear either the blue military-style uniform with service jacket and ribbons OR aviator shirt-gray pants/skirt combination with tie and blazer, during your presentation.
Arrive at least 30 minutes early so time schedules run smoothly.
Stick to your time schedule so we can avoid dead time or over time. Remember time for questions and comments, and your Case Study. It is better to end early than run over.
We welcome you to stay with us before and after your presentation. It is a good chance to discover new material and ideas from other talented people!
