You have been given the opportunity to present your case to an influential interest group in your community. You will use information gathered in each of the previous assignments to create a compelling presentation with the goal of persuading the interest group that your position on the policy is worthy of being implemented.

Create a 6–8-slide PowerPoint presentation in which you:

Provide a historical perspective of the policy from the Week 3 assignment, Historical Perspective.
Describe the official and unofficial actors of the policy from the Week 6 assignment, Analyzing Policy.
Present both of the positions of the policy from the Week 8 assignment, Position Paper.
Persuade the audience that the position you have chosen is worthy of the policy being implemented.
Include at least four peer-reviewed references (no more than five years old) from material outside the textbook. Note: Appropriate peer-reviewed references include scholarly articles and governmental websites. Wikipedia, other wikis, and any other websites ending in anything other than “.gov” do not qualify as peer-reviewed.

One of the elements that will be missing in your grant application and your conception of whatever community need you will be trying to address with your grant-funded project is the community’s views on its own needs. One approach to gather such important input is to conduct a community forum in which members of the community are invited to attend a meeting to share their views with your organization’s leadership. Prepare an invitation letter to a local community group inviting their participation in your community forum.
