Description/Paper Instructions
Policy Brief Presentation: Power Point or Product You will upload your Policy Brief PowerPoint or Product into the Assignment tab in Blackboard (Bb). You will use the PowerPoint or Product when you present. Students will use Bb Collaborate to present their policy topic to other students near the end of the course (see dates in Policy Brief Sign-Up Sheets). Please complete this Sign-Up Sheet by the date listed in the Syllabus.
Identify a local, state or federal official, policy leader or consumer advocate to have a professional dialog with on the issue/legislation you have chosen. In the DB, you will give their name and position and why you chose them.
Your final assignment for the semester is a live 10-minute presentation that everyone does in small groups during Bb Collaborate Session (See Policy Brief Presentation Sign Up Sheets for available dates/ times). Between now and then you will need to:
· Identify several federal (or state) officials, policy leaders, professional organizations, or consumer advocacy groups to have a professional dialog with on the issue/legislation you have chosen.
· Begin to follow these stakeholders/ advocacy groups on Twitter, LinkedIn or Facebook; and/or follow in mainstream media and online news throughout the semester. Keep screen shots of media/ social media coverage to include in your final presentation.
· Identifying more than one person/ organization will increase your chances of getting an interview, and you may want to prioritize who you would like to talk to; it may take longer to get in touch with some of those you identify.
· Your contact with the person can be by phone or in-person but not by email only. This interview/ encounter is a required aspect for the Policy Brief Presentation assignment. You may use/ share your Product, if one is created, during your interview/ encounter.
4. If you are unable to get a meeting with your chosen contact, choose another. You should be able to connect with a legislator, legislative staff or consumer advocate organization. You will report on your encounter when you present. For more detailed instructions and tips on how to do the encounter, see the assignment guidelines for the Policy Brief Presentation.
4. Alternate options for meeting the legislator contact will be posted in announcements this semester. These will be posted early in the semester.
1. In your presentation, you will give the name of the person you talked with, their job title, position on the legislation, and your rationale for selecting them. You will also need to describe the process of contacting them, and their responses so be sure to keep notes for yourself on your timeline of events for this assignment.
For tips on setting up a meeting and conducting the meeting read the Steps for Meeting with Members of Congress document . While this document focuses on meeting with a member of Congress, it can also inform meeting with local legislators or someone from a consumer advocate organization.
