Guidelines for Creating
Presentations
and
PowerPoint97 Templates.
Please be aware that the guidelines and templates were created
for ARB staff use,
therefore some of the information may not be
appropriate for your presentation.
During my
presentation, who will run my slide program?
ARB staff will not be available to "click" or change
slides for you. If you don't wish to do so yourself, it is
important that you bring someone with you to run your presentation or
change your slides. Staff will be available in an advisory
capacity to assist with the use of ARB equipment.
How long can
my presentation be?
The length of time allowed for stakeholder presentations
will differ depending upon many factors, including the number
of speakers wishing to speak on any given topic. The Chair will
determine the time to be allotted to all speakers on a given
agenda item. Although the following time limit may not
always be imposed for a particular Board item,
speakers should be prepared, if necessary, to make their presentations
within a three to five-minute time allotment.
Are all
presentations webcast?
ARB Board meetings are webcast and the world will be able
to hear your remarks. Your remarks will also be available via
the written transcript posted to our website.
We will request
a hardcopy The actual slide presentations made to the Board by
ARB staff will be made available to the public. Anyone
with a PDF reader will be able to access these slide
presentations. Each ARB staff presentation will be linked from
the monthly Board agenda. Usually, presentations will be made
available immediately prior to the actual presentation, and
a placeholder file will lie underneath the link on the Board
agenda advising the user
of this fact.
