Pre Presentation Logistics Call the unit presenter at least one week in advance and verify the location, date, goal, and time of the meeting. Send out the Pre-presentation Email to your unit. Introduce your presenter and coordinate a lead gift presentation from a unit leader. 13
Day of Presentation Arrive at the meeting place early to meet your presenter. Recruit volunteers or Scouts to help pass out materials. Signal your presenter when they have reached the five-minute mark, so they can wrap up the presentation. Take a photo of your unit tracking report sheet. 14
Post Presentation Logistics Send out the Post Presentation Email to your unit. This resource can be found at neic.org/fos under the unit coordinator resource section. Follow up with any families that have not renewed their gifts. Post unit giving site on your unit website and/or Facebook page. 15
