Relate to your community


Identify yourself and your position in the community. Create credibility.


“I am a small farmer and educator…”
“As the President of the XYZ organization…”
“As a parent of 3 young children…”

Keep the writing simple. Write at an 8th grade level. Avoid technical jargon and in depth policy analysis.
