Three things to help you improve your oral/written communication skills are:

1)      Practice makes perfect. Do dry runs of your presentation either to yourself or in front of a group of friends to see improve the issues you are having.

2)      Make sure to have smooth transitions between speakers during a group presentation.

3)      Go to the Baruch Writing center for help improve your writing skills.

More will be discussed in class.

The tasks of the group project were split up based on the following:

1)      Defining the problem/ root cause analysis

2)      Solution/Innovation

3)      Budget

Each member will write an executive summary and then we will compare and contrast to determine the best one to submit. More details will be discussed in class.

My group decided that we would base our group proposal on the charity Dress for Success. Dress for Success focuses on providing the necessary tools for disadvantage women to obtain jobs.  Some of the things they provide are professional attire, career development tools and a network of support.  The people that benefit the most from this charity are underprivileged women from underdeveloped neighborhoods that were never given a chance and now have a chance to succeed in life. This charity is important because it helps the vast minority. It is important to others because it helps them help themselves.

Our plan to obtain funding from Echoing Green revolves around the ideas and goals of this charity.  The plan is to setup a place in South Bronx. It will be near a subway station for easy accessibility. The primary target of this location is the people surrounding the area. The funding will be used to setup this location. Eventually, this location will be self-sustaining through donations from successful clients.

Overall, this charity seeks to solve a social need.
