Question: Briefing Memo
You are the chief of staff of your public organization. Every morning you provide a briefing memo on the top 3 issues that you think the director needs to know today. It is a single page memo, single spaced.
Select an organization, such as a school district, or an executive or local agency in INDIANA. The only limitation is that it be a public or not-for-profit organization.
Select a context for the briefing. You have a choice of three.
Daily operations - keeping the boss on track when nothing major is going on.
Crisis situation - the three items center on the impact of a crisis or disaster.
SWOT Analysis - you describe strengths, weaknesses and opportunities and threats associated with the events framing that day.
In the briefing memo provide a title for each topic, a short paragraph summary of each topic and one media report citation and link on the topic and one scholarly article with a link related to the topic as background for your boss. If the issue is internal such as a personnel problem the media example may be a comparable situation. For example a sexual harassment issue brought to the boss' attention. You may want to use a comparable media report.
Instructions: APA citation style should be followed for the citations and links. However, this one page document can be single spaced. See the attached example.
TIPS: Note that the sample title page document differs from the "Purdue Owl Sample APA Research Paper Format.pdf" that is attached here for your guidance.
