We strongly suggest that you write your POV statements in a word
processing program like Word or Notepad, save it, and then copy and
paste into the form below!!
There
are two reasons for this:
-
Sometimes forms fail when you submit them, and it is really not fun to
lose your hard work.
-
Your POV statement should be considered a working document that each group
refines over time; you don't want to keep retyping your
statement -- that's why you have a word processor!
-
If you have trouble with the form, you can email your POV to
ci@cacaponinstitute.org

Stakeholder POV Tips
A
stakeholder is a person or a group with an interest in the
success of an organization, project, or government action. Every group has interests that are unique to them, and every
stakeholder group has a right to be heard. Your
stakeholder group's “Point of View” statement should describe:
-
why you are important,
-
how the Bay’s
problems (or related problems) affect you,
-
how the possible
solutions affect you personally and maybe affect your
livelihood,
-
what solutions and
approaches your group would prefer.
-
POVs
should be crisp, concise, and persuasive. The optimum
length for a POV is from 250 to 600 words.
Think about these questions:
-
Will
the solutions “cost” you in any demonstrable way?
What do you have to give up?
-
Will
the solutions benefit you?
-
What
could be done that would make your group more willing to
participate?
-
How
could the solutions be structured so your group would
prosper as a result?
-
Could you be so harmed by the process
of fixing the Bay that
you disappeared?
-
If the Bay is not
cleaned up, could you be so harmed that
you might disappear?
