• Start with making a list: (or keeping a running list) of ideas for presentations based off your experience or the needs of the community. 

• Solidify topic and presenters: When choosing a topic think about what is relevant to 

  • • 1) community needs, 

    • 2) current climate/social issues, 

    • 3) multicultural considerations of the community, 

    • 4) a gap in research/information. 

  • Check CP templates/education hub for information that has already been created. 

• Figure out expertise: Discuss what you and your co-presenters experience is with the topic. Ideally, at least one presenter will have specialized knowledge of the topic. 

  • Specialized knowledge may include: extra training, education, research, years of clinical practice with a specific population/concern. 

  • You may need to consult with a specialist or get further training before presenting to gain expertise. 

• Start an outline of the presentation: Figure out/write down-

  •  1) What format do you want? (PowerPoint, roundtable discussion, poster)

  • 2) Where do you present this information? (At CP, Raleigh Founded, Online via Zoom)

  • 3) Do you need funding? (Discuss this with CP Administrators for approval with a proposed budget) 

  • 4) When will this be? (Take into account time it takes to advertise, personal schedule conflicts, and national or local holidays) 

  • 5) Are there access concerns? (Are there cultural implications? Is the format accessible for those with disabilities? Do you need translation/interpreters? Do you need subtitles enabled?) 

  • 6) What are the time limits? (Be cognizant of the topic when picking the length of the conversation/presentation)

• Start creating: Begin to input information relevant to the topic into the format for presenting. 

  • If you have co-presenters figure out who will present what information. 

• Proof your work:  Have a colleague review your project.

  • Have them give you feedback on grammar, topic choice, and general advice. 

• Advertise: Create flyers, emails, and other advertising components to get the word out. You want an audience! 

  • If you need help with advertising, contact CP director/organizers to see if there are professionals who can assist. 

• Practice, practice, practice: It is best practice to practice! Do a complete run through of your presentation before presenting. If you want feedback, have a trial with colleagues. 

• Get feedback: After your presentation, have the participants give feedback via the CP feedback form. 

  • Make sure you thank the participants for their feedback.
