The goal is to distill research into concise yet compelling recommendations to influence policymakers.

This document provides guidance on understanding target audiences and stakeholders. It emphasizes that to communicate effectively, one must understand an audience's needs, concerns, and interests. It introduces tools like stakeholder mind maps and alignment-interest matrices to help analyze audiences. A stakeholder mind map prompts mapping key stakeholders and considerations like their alignment with goals and level of influence. An alignment-interest matrix further maps stakeholders based on their alignment and interest levels to identify engagement opportunities. The workshop activities guide attendees in applying these tools to identify stakeholders for a sample project and ways to raise awareness, interest, and influence levels to improve engagement.

This document provides information on using Twitter for research purposes. It discusses what Twitter is, how to get started using it, useful terminology, and ways it can be used to support research.

The document also provides "10 commandments" for effective Twitter use, such as putting up an avatar, tweeting regularly, engaging in conversations, and having fun.
The document summarizes biographies of several prominent sports lawyers, including Joe Leccese who has represented team owners in acquisitions and expansions, Jim Quinn and Jeffrey Kessler who have represented players' associations in major antitrust cases against leagues, Jeffrey Mishkin who was formerly the NBA's chief legal officer, Howard Ganz who has negotiated collective bargaining agreements for multiple leagues, and provides brief information on the Sports Lawyers Association which was founded in 1975.
The 1920s saw the rise of mass production techniques and new technologies that led to widespread prosperity. Henry Ford's assembly line model for automobile production helped make cars affordable for many Americans through efficient manufacturing. New industries like airlines and radio broadcasting also emerged during this period. Mass advertising campaigns encouraged consumers to purchase an array of newly available products using installment plans, fueling economic growth but also contributing to growing consumer debt levels.
