SayPro Prepare Presentations: Prepare the evaluation results presentation and supporting materials.

SayPro Define Key Objectives of the Presentation

• Purpose: Clearly define the main goal of the presentation. Are you presenting findings to inform decisions, gain feedback, or align on next steps?
• Audience: Tailor the presentation for the specific stakeholders attending (e.g., program managers, faculty, community representatives).
• Outcomes: Determine what you want the audience to take away. For example, understanding strengths and weaknesses, committing to next steps, or approving certain changes.
