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
