4. Identify the potential implementing actor (for-profit organization, non-profit, or government) or the combination of actors for each concern.
5. Draft a statement of public policy for each of the two social change concerns you have identified for the community, taking into consideration public policy elements. Refer to the resources in your Social Policy Toolbox for developing these statements.
