Presentations
We have a general CAP PowerPoint presentation that is customizable for your squadron. It’s best suited for an adult audience, not cadets. However, PMD does have plans to create a presentation for prospective cadets. You are free to edit the photos, slides, layout and wording as needed - no permission from NHQ is necessary. If you think your version trumps this one and feel like sharing, please email it to mvogt@capnhq.gov.
