History
This section should describe the interest group's founding and development. It would probably be a good idea to divide it into chronological subsections, for example:
Founding
This subsection should provide some historical context for the founding of your group, explain the motivations behind it, and describe the steps taken and challenges faced by its founders to get the ball rolling.[1]
Current objectives and activities
The Board of Directors of recently developed a new strategic positioning process to ensure the Forum is able to meet its intended function. The four strategic positioning process includes the following five goals.
1. Develop relationships and an understanding of disparate views and, taking those views into account, craft a cohesive strategy across a range of issues;
2. Provide trusted information, analysis and advocacy strategy to key audiences shaping immigration policy and regulation across a range of immigration issues;
3. Engage a wider set of pro-immigration voices across constituencies, regions and ethnicities;
4. Implement targeted campaigns, based on the guidance of our Immigration Policy Council, to advance the overall strategy of the pro-immigration alliance; and,
5. Develop the institutional capacities and structures of the Forum needed to achieve its mission.
This section should discuss the group's current initiatives and tactics for influencing political outcomes (which may or may not be very different from its original goals and modus operandi).[2]
Organizational structure
Since 1982 there have only been three Executive Directors. The Executive Director over sees the whole operation of The National Immigration Forum. In March 2008 the board of Board of Directors elected Ali Noorani as the new Executive Director.
This section should describe the group's organizational structure, including its principal leadership positions and their current incumbents.[3]
Achievements
This section should recount the group's major achievements, including but not limited to legislative and/or legal victories.[4]
Public perception and controversies
In developing this final section, be especially careful about maintaining a neutral stance and tone. Your aim should be to document the public's perception of your group and/or any controversies in which it is or has been embroiled without weighing in with your own opinion about them.
