  Hi Belinda,
welcome to the PowerPoint Forum.

There are basically 3 things to always remember when presenting in the boardroom.

Visual Aids
Rehearsing
Key Arguments

Visual Aids 
Help you communicate with your audience far better than bullet points or text. In fact some researchers claim that up to 55% of audience retention is visual, whilst only 7% is text based.
So firstly, if you need oyur audience to remember what you're saying, think about using more visuals in your presentation and slides.

Rehearsing
The key to knowing how long to speak about a specific subject or topic, and how to time your overall presentation length.

Key Arguments
There is an expression called The Rule of Three. The rule of three basically states that any indivudal can remember up to 3 things at one time before there is a possibility of the individual forgetting.
In your presentation try to focus on only 3 core topics and discuss them clearly and concisely.
Wishing you all the best with your presentation Belinda, and hope I have been of some help.
