    Choose an elected local, state, or federal official affiliated with your area of interest to write an advocacy letter.
    Locate 2 additional sources of information for the issue identified using the University Library or other web resources.
    Research future areas of focus and support for adult lifelong learning related to that area of interest.
    Write an 875- to 1,050-word business letter to your selected elected official in which you: 
    Describe your selected policy area of interest.
    Analyze the importance of the policy area of interest to your community. 
    Evaluate 2 future trends or areas of focus related to the policy area of interest.
    Justify 3 future policy, legislation, or regulation changes you want the official to support related to the policy area of interest by articulating the importance and benefits of community-based education and services
