A Budget request that provides a solution

Select a current issue for which you can find background material. Become familiar with the issue and build a budget request that provides a solution to the issue. If a solution is already publicly available, work through the data

so that you can re-create the budget request.

 

(a) Prepare no more than two PowerPoint slides to

address the issue and the proposed solution.

 

 

(b) Prepare a verbal briefing of no more than 10 minutes

that reviews the background of the issue, identifies

why it must be addressed, describes what your proposal

will do to address the issue, and gives the

amount of your budget request.

 

(c) Prepare one-page summary,

with 1-inch margins and 12-point

font, that provides the highlights

of your issue and proposal.

 

(d) Prepare more thorough frequently

asked questions (FAQ)

a document that could be used

by the department director giving

the briefing, a legislator hearing

the information.
