Sample, ''Why and How Interest Group X Was Founded''. City: Publisher, 2015.</ref>

|
| |
| ==Current objectives and activities==

| ==Organizational structure==
| |
|

| ==Public perception and controversies==
| |
|
| |
| In developing this final section, be especially careful about maintaining a [[CZ:Neutrality Policy|neutral]] stance and tone. Your aim should be to document the public's perception of your group and/or any controversies in which it is or has been embroiled ''without weighing in with your own opinion'' about them.
