They are marked with a bright yellow arrow. • Make sure you remove the arrow before presenting • The visual style in this presentation includes some shapes; some you will be able to move, some should stay where they are. • This is a ready to use sample presentation done in British English, feel free to adapt it to your language for effective communication.
Make sure it looks good! • Logos in this presentation are only used in the first and last slide. • We’ve prepared this presentations for National Associations. However, if you wish to add your Chapter, you can change the layout for ‘Title Slide’ and ‘Final Slide’ to use the Chapter logo. • You can explore how to add the country name and/or Chapter name in the logos to your right REMINDER • Country and Chapter names are capitalized only on the first letters, so Korea not KOREA or El Salvador not el salvador. • We don’t use the word ’Chapter’, just the name. So Austin instead of Austin Chapter

“Being a CISV leader has given me confidence and skills that are marketable to prospective employers. Not only has CISV opened the door to rich and diverse environments that have helped me grow as a person; it has also given me direct access to other cultures and languages that have expanded my interpersonal repertoire.” Kelly Burggraaf CISV USA
