Target Audience: Describe your intended audience – their values, beliefs, expectations, and why it is the right individual or group to address. Your audience should be a decision-maker or decision-making body in your specific community, who has the finances or authority to implement your solution and make that change happen.

The Best Solution : State your own, original proposed solution, explain why it is logical and feasible, and provide details for how it will be executed according to your audience’s position and/or ability to act.
