  • Due : Group Deliverable 1: Short Memo
    This 300-word memo should inform the instructor of your group members, and
    suggest three organizations the group will contact and the kinds of projects/deliverables (needs) that the group is interested in undertaking. This will be composed before meeting with potential clients. In your memo, you should rank the organizations/businesses according to your first, second, and third choice and explain the reasons behind your ranking. This memo should reflect that you've done some research into each of the three organizations in order to anticipate what kind of materials they may be in need of (for example, don't just write that you'd like to work on their website if they've already got a great website). Refer again to the OWL's Guidelines for Writing a Memo. Do not set up meeting with client until I approve your choices.
