5.Look up your selected interest groups website. What is the web address? What do you like about their website? What do you think could be improved about their website?

6.Look up your selected interest group on social media. What is good about their social media presence? What could be improved about their social media presence?

8.Come up with at least one completely original idea that could be used to improve your selected interest groups efforts. Describe this idea in detail. What specific goal would this idea seek to accomplish? What types of resources would this idea need? How would this idea improve the organization’s efforts to achieve its mission?
