Writing the Final Draft

This week I will be fully committed to preparing the final draft of my SCORE essay. As states in the previous blog, I need to add more to my essay in order for it to be fully completed. These additions to my essay will have to include my required two interviews about the benefits of nonprofit work and at least two other sources, including another book and a periodical.

I have two specific interview in mind. The first is my dad, James Caviston, who is the president of SeARTS nonprofit organization I interned at for my SCORE project. My dad has been the president of SeARTs for almost  five consecutive years, giving him much experience and insight into nonprofit management and work. In  my opinion, he would be an invaluable source of information for the essay. The other possible interviewee is Bob Hastings, executive director of the Cape Ann Chamber of Commerce. I have met Mr. Hastings at the meeting between the city of Gloucester and representatives from the federal government two weeks ago. It had been originally suggested by my dad after the meeting was concluded that if there was no work for me at SeARTS, I could continue my research as an intern at the Chamber of Commerce. This idea did not materialize, but I was able to become familiar with the Chamber of Commerce through our introduction.

Hopefully the latter will be available this week for a full interview. Speaking of which, I still have to conceive what questions I will ask both my interviewees. Will they will the same questions? Different questions? Or a mixture of the two, depending on the nonprofit they run? Either way it is going to be a very busy week.
