This is the scenario:
The Dallas Regional Chamber of Commerce has developed a make believe friendly competition, Businesses Give Back, in order to promote social responsibility and community engagement among Dallas-area businesses. The competition asks businesses to create a program, event, or community action project that is designed to address an important need in the Dallas area. Appropriate needs/social issues might include homelessness, poverty, at-risk youth, domestic violence, literacy (for children or adults), and environmental concerns, but there are of course many other needs in our community. The Chamber will pay half of the cost of the winning project.
Your boss has wholeheartedly embraced this competition. He recognizes that it is important for businesses to give back to their communities (not to mention he really wants to win!!). He has appointed several writing teams and instructed each team to create an informal proposal for the competition. Your boss and the Community Engagement Committee (CEC) will be the only ones reading these proposals. After evaluating all company proposals, your boss and the CEC will select one team to represent the company in the actual Chamber of Commerce competition.
