The following is a briefing sheet that I wrote when I was about halfway through my internship. The purpose of a briefing sheet is to list all the pertinent information about the event the Mayor is going to attend. In this case, it was for one of his business “One-on-One” meetings with new Warwick restaurant, Cork and Rye Gastropub.

By the time I wrote this particular briefing sheet, I had already written six previous ones, so I was well-versed in the configuration. This shows the culmination of my knowledge of what to include in a briefing sheet. I learned that the following pieces of information are worth including:

• Names of owners (and other important personnel)
• Date of when business/company opened
• Definitions of unclear/ unfamiliar terms
• What business/company is “known for”
• Mission statements
• Reviews from customers
