Assisting the president and his staff as the vision and goals of the Initiative continue to evolve and a funding plan takes shape;
Identifying concrete, achievable action plans that will advance the goals of the Initiative;
Providing oversight and tracking progress of the activities encompassed by the Initiative, including the communications plan and the events that will bear the stamp of the President’s Initiative; and
Actively seeking out opportunities to bring University children, youth and family resources to bear in public policy, local and state initiatives and funding agendas.
