Your proposal is a document written to me. In it, you describe a problem that you would like to solve.
First of all, review the issues you identified in your "State of the Profession" essay. These issues should include problems encountered by practitioners in your field of study.
Think about the kind of problem one of your issues might pose for a company, agency, or non-profit. Some examples are listed below.
- The difficulty that Organizational Leadership majors have in taking classes while working and maintaining a family.
- Current issues of the profession organizational leadership.
Once you have identified a potential problem, offer some solutions to that problem.
Your proposal should be formatted as a memo to me. Information should be presented in approximately the following order:
1. Explain your profession and describe the problem you have identified.
2. Describe some of the other issues that you identified in the State of the Profession essay and explain why you selected the one you did.
3. Identify an employer who is having the problem. Describe how you plan to solve the problem. You might find it useful to break this section down into steps. Your solution does not have to be particularly sophisticated, given that you are not actual practitioners in your field.
