· Provide technical assistance on public health practices, share relevant health resources, and create newsletter content, analyzing engagement metrics for improvements.
· Recommend meeting focus areas, prepare speakers, and update WaPortal with health and social determinant resources.
· Track legislative issues, develop virtual meeting agendas, notes, and materials to support Community Collaborative meetings and workgroup actions.
· Document project objectives, develop presentations, and lead a final virtual presentation for the Workforce Pathways program.
