I am presenting to our executive team tomorrow and I’m trying to figure out what all I should hand to them (if anything). This isn’t a PowerPoint type presentation and I won’t be in a board room or anything where presenting would be important. Do I need to give them anything? Do I give a summary of my strategic plan? I’m fairly early in my career and want to impress without giving them unnecessary noise.

If I was given a presentation without a powerpoint deck, I would create a high-level summary one-pager document that attendees can review while I'm talking.
Depending on what I was presenting that one pager could be an executive summary or graphs and charts or a TLDR set of bullet points or perhaps all of the above.
I would also follow up by sending that one-pager and my full presentation to all attendees so they had an electronic version of my presentation. Yes, I would create a longer document that contained all of the information I'm presenting.

Yes, give them something to read about after your presentation, as when people get the information early they pay no attention and read, I usually do a welcome, a thank you, and verbally let them know what to expect, a short agenda, and copy of my presentation just before I end it!
Ask for questions, done!
