How to Make Presenting Easy and Effective, Even at the Last Minute!
The SPC and the Society of Women Environmental Professionals (SWEP) are partnering to bring you this workshop.

By the end of this session, you will know how to make your presentations clearer and more compelling. This will benefit both your audiences (who will understand and remember more) and you (because you will find presenting much easier).
