Message to
the ReOrientation Presenter(s)
This presentation covers a number of topics about the Society including
structure, the Founders, the history and insignia of the organization, and
the projects, programs and activities encouraged by the Society. The
presentation is designed to be used in one of two ways:
1. each slide or group of slides can be used as a short segment for an on-going
reorientation (see next slide for names of groups that can be used), or
2. in its entirety as a longer, complete program for a chapter meeting.
The first slide of the presentation is slide 4. This slide and slides 2-3 are for
you, the presenter, so please become familiar with the notes that
accompany each slide, and understand the method of presentation as
explained to you on the next slide.

Note to the Reorientation Presenter
It is very important that you, the presenter, read and print out all
information included in the notes section (if they are not visible
now, go to VIEW, then select Notes Page) of the PowerPoint
presentation before conducting your reorientation session.
Then, when you use the information in your presentation (slide
show view), you will bring clarity, emphasis and essential detail
to each slide without overburdening the members.
Suggestions to the presenter are italicized in notes.
