Convincing the Board of Kevin Richardson Foundation in South Africa
Using what you have learned about the organization you chose and the current topic you are helping them communicate, describe what you, the Communications Coordinator, want your audience to know and what you need to convince them of. Then, describe what your audience, the Board, may want to know, what preconceived notions may they be carrying into the meeting, and what the different ways are that they may be predisposed to not be swayed by your words.
Next, create an outline of the Board’s priorities, the organization’s mission, and any other information that is relevant to how you choose to argue your agenda. Does your agenda align with the Board’s priorities? If not, how should you adapt your strategy? Remember to use relevant source material from your readings. When you cite other work, you must include a reference list.

Kevin Richardson Foundation in South Africa
The Kevin Richardson Foundation is among the organizations that are mutating into vital entities in South Africa going by its strategic intent. The foundation is a nonprofit conservation organization that was founded in early 2018 and is strongly focused on the majestic lion, which is a symbol of the beauty of nature (Kevin Richardson Foundation, 2023).

This analysis focuses on the organization’s communication coordinator’s quest to engage the stakeholders of the organization toward achieving its mission. The analysis showcases the coordinator’s intentions to convince the board of what needs to be done and an assessment of some of the impediments that could limit convincing the board.

As such, it would be necessary that the board fully grasps the mission, which is to reverse the declining lion population in Africa. The mission spells creating safe, natural habitats, and addressing human-animal conflicts. The second prospect to consider is for the board to master the set conservation strategies (Kevin Richardson Foundation, 2023). Presently, the foundation focuses on community engagement, raising awareness, and habitat acquisition. The whole board should be engaged in the above strategies. Finally, the communication coordinator wants the board to know the value of collaboration and its impact. For the communications
