...Memo To:La Verne Donelson, Instructor From:John Doe, Student Date:3/22/2010 Re:Proposal for the Addition of a Kids Day Camp Program at Red Rocks Country Club Purpose The purpose of this proposal is to suggest development of a Kids Day Camp program at Red Rocks Country Club to enhance the current member experience and attract new members. Summary Red Rocks Country Club is a private organization whose amenities include: an Olympic-size pool, an 18-hole golf course, a full-service restaurant, a private fishing lake and access to a host of hiking trails. Their vision is “A sought after, private club committed to our unique friendliness and natural landscape”. Their website markets the club as “A different kind of country club” and “a family and female friendly Club”. Red Rocks offers a variety of golf programs for men and women: Men’s golf leagues, women’s golf leagues, couples tournaments and Interclub play events. For kids ages 10 and up, they also have a Junior Golf program. However, parents of young children often do not have the opportunity to golf together. For both the man and woman to play, they are faced with finding private childcare on an ad-hoc basis. In the summertime on a weekend day, this is not always an easy task. What often happens is that the man utilizes the golf course and the woman stays home with the kids, which can lead to a “lopsided” perception of the club’s value for the family. I am proposing that Red Rocks Country...

...To: John Smith, Instructor Communication 2200 From: Jane Doe, Student Date: August 25, 2014 Subject: Proposal for Course Project This memo gives the details for my proposed course project for Communication 2200. Problem/Innovation With gas prices at an all time high during this year, a lot of individuals are looking for alternatives to gasoline powered transportation. Many people are turning towards diesel and electric powered cars in order to save money. Some larger engine automobiles such as V8 cylinder engines get as low as 12-15 miles per gallon. I have decided to analyze three different highly recommended, fuel saving automobiles. By researching how much it will cost to buy and maintain three different automobiles, I can determine which automobile will be the best purchase for me. I am interested in this subject not only because I am a student in ASCC’s Automotive program, but also because I am considering purchasing a new vehicle. My family is a one-car family, and the vehicle I purchase will be our family’s primary form of transportation. Audience My audience is the average American car buyer. Average Americans are more interested than ever in fuel economy. They want to know if the best type of vehicle to purchase for transportation – a gasoline, diesel, or electric powered automobile. Topics to be Investigated In this study I plan to cover these points. 1. Which car is the best to use and why? What are the benefits/negatives of each type...

...| Parker Benson Editing | Memo To: | Robert Warner | From: | | Date: | September 7, 2015 | Re: | Use of Body Cameras on Law Enforcement Personnel | | | Introduction: There is a huge problem regarding law enforcement personnel in today’s day and age. This problem stems from the term ‘police brutality’. Unfortunately, the term is being tossed around at any applicable chance, and the media doesn’t always help mediate between the two sides of the argument. I am addressing this memo to Parker Benson’s article acquisition editor, Robert Warner, in hopes to gain approval to pursue a piece recommending the use of body cameras on all law enforcement personnel. I will be sure to address every angle of the argument and tip-toe along sensitive boundaries. Audience Analysis: The article will not only be read by all of our loyal and dedicated readers, it will appeal to a large demographic in today’s society. Police brutality is a very hot topic in the media; therefore a piece on the recommendation of body cameras for law enforcement personnel is sure to attract a tremendous range of readers. Not only will it appeal to our dedicated readers and those who follow the media, it may appeal to those who have family or friends who are members of law enforcement, or even those who have experienced or been affected by police brutality. Research Methods: I will utilize solely secondary sources while conducting my research, due to time requirements and compliance...

Purpose The purpose of this proposal is to request your approval to evaluate the current video game tournament sign-up process and ultimately institute an entrance fee for all tournaments starting next semester. Summary When the TerpZone started running the video game tournament series, I personally did not know what to expect, as I was in charge of coming up with a schedule of games, implementing the schedule into the TerpZone calendar, coming up with various ideas to market the various tounrmanents, and actually hosting and running the tournaments. But as the results have shown, the TerpZone video game tournament series has been a huge success, and the attendance numbers have steadily increased as more students become aware of the possibilities that our tournaments offer. However, as this number has continued to increase and I have continued to implement different new strategies and additions to the tournaments, there still lies the problem of what measure of compensation the students...

...Environment Impact Assessment: Screening and Scoping Report Due: Monday 9 September, 2010 You are employed as a Project Officer within the Environmental Assessment division of the Department of Planning and Community Development. You have sat in on a Technical Reference Group to oversee the preparation of an EES, so you have a reasonable idea of the processes for the screening of proposals and what an EES involves. The Minister has asked you to advise him on the need for an EIA for a proposal that is being developed, and is likely to be referred to him: in which case the Minister will be required to make a decision about whether an EIA is required. The proposal to be considered is the Doncaster Rail Study Phase One Final Recommendations Report. http://www.doncasterrailstudy.com/ (with specific reports to be found in http://www.doncasterrailstudy.com/publications/) In accordance with normal practice, you will report your investigation to the Minister through a Memorandum (Memo) of 2000 words; this will form the basis upon which the Minister makes his decision. In the Memo you want to provide an overview of the need for an EIA. If one is needed you will be giving the rationale for this and will outline the general structure and contents of the EES. For this you will be considering the scope of the EES and the main topics to be included (following the contents of an EES outlined in the EES Guidelines).

...thought because you are simply absorbing everything you read and hear. With a good combination of the two one can successfully go through the critical thinking process and ask and answer all the right questions. So what are the right questions? Browne and Keeley give 10 questions that create a stairway to successful critical thinking. I am going to go through the 10-question model and examine a Memo written by Ms. Mary Ford the Director of Human Resources of APEU to Mr. Hector Fuentes the President of APEU local No. 121. I. What are the Issues and Conclusions? An issue is a question or controversy responsible for the conversation or discussion. It is the stimulus for what is being said (Browne & Keeley, 2011). There are two types of issues, descriptive which are those that raise questions about the accuracy of the past, present or future and prescriptive which questions what we should do or what is right or wrong, good or bad (Browne and Keeley, 2011). The Memo written by Mary has a prescriptive issue. The issue within the memo is whether or not the union should oppose the outsourcing proposal by Governor Gloria Gainor. On October 20, 2012 the governor sent a...

...Critical Thinking and Communication Skills By Matthew Paul DMBA 610 Professor Kennedy Introduction In this paper, I will analyze the memo by applying the steps of the critical thinking model discussed in Asking the Right Questions to assess the arguments made. Among the other tasks I had to make, I will not just analyze the memo but I will evaluate the author’s argument as objectively as possible. I will also provide a thorough evaluation of the issues presented and assess ideas critically, demonstrating clear and consistent treatment of each evaluation. Furthermore, I will verify the information that was in the memo and I will note what is not in the memo. For the last closure of the argument, I will end this paper with a conclusion of what I have critically completed. 1. What are the issues and conclusions? On October 20, 2011, President of APEU Union Local 121, Mr. Hector Fuentes, sent a request to the Human Resource Manager, Ms. Mary Ford regarding notification letter sent by Governor Gloria Gainor. Mr. Fuentes wanted Ms. Ford to evaluate the letter he received from the Governor notifying the union that the state intends to outsource and privatize the information systems management function within the Department of Motor Vehicles. This memo that Mr. Fuentes received from Ms. Ford was in response to the request of Mr. Fuentes to be evaluate simply because of issues and concern for the DMV employees...

...Exchanges With Industry Before Receipt of Proposals (4-4) Part 15 of the Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR) “prescribes [the] policies and procedures governing competitive and noncompetitive negotiated acquisitions.” One component of negotiated acquisitions that occurs early in the acquisition process is the solicitation of proposals. FAR 15.201, titled, “Exchanges with Industry before Receipt of Proposals,” regulates the type and manner of communications, also sometimes referred to as exchanges, which can – and cannot – take place between the Government and potential suppliers prior to the receipt of a potential supplier’s proposal and the subsequent award of a contract. This paper will address a few of the various types and formats of exchanges that might occur between the Government and potential suppliers prior to the Government’s receipt of proposals, and the manner in which some of these exchanges are to occur; some of the legal, regulatory, and logistical considerations that a Program Manager, Contracting Officer, or other Government participant in the acquisition process might need to be mindful of when conducting discussions; and the diligence and care that must be utilized by the Government team members when conducting exchanges with potential suppliers before the receipt of proposals in order to avoid issues that may arise later in the procurement process. Exchanges of information can take place either before, after, or both before and after the official...

...Case 9 Kota Fibers, Ltd. Kota Fibers, Ltd. was founded in Kota, India in 1962. Kota produced nylon to provide synthetic fiber yarns to local textile weavers. The synthetic fiber yarns were mainly used to make traditional women’s colorful dresses in India called the saris. One sari averaged eight yards of fabric. Indian women usually purchased three saris every year. India’s female population is around 500 million, with a demand for saris accounting for more than twelve billion yards of fabric and a stable business. The demand was being supplied by domestic textile mills that fulfilled their yarn requirements from suppliers like Kota Fibers. Kota used new technology and domestic raw materials to produce their quality product. Demand for synthetic textiles was characterized by a stable year to year growth with fluctuation based on special Indian festivals and celebrations. The most important festival was the Diwali celebration in mid-autumn, which made a seasonal peak in demand for new saris. Therefore, mid-summer was the seasonal peak demand for nylon yarn from Kota. Unit industry growth was expected to be 15% per year. Consumers purchased their saris from cloth merchants located all around the country. Cloth merchants were important local figures that were well known to the area residents who granted credit in order to support their sales. The suppliers were very competitive in order to keep the merchant’s business. The suppliers were aggressive in price, service, and credit...
