3. SINKER: ASK FOR COMMITMENT– What do you want from the person?– Ask them to support your issue, introduce a bill,
etc.– You should always find out how you will be able

• Evaluation is…– Too complex.– Something to do once and you can be done
with it.– A whole new set of activities that we do not
have time or resources for.– Not important because I know what is good
for my community.
