… Facilitate enhancement of local TA provision through skill sharing by more
experienced TA providers, discovery and promotion of training opportunities,
and information exchange;
… Compose regular reports on the Pilot to Community Express Participants and
NCRC's Board.
… As directed by Supervisor, handle other duties related to NCRC's
development of wealth-building strategies in low/moderate-income and
minority communities.

minority communities;

economic development;
… Ability to assemble and write timely, comprehensive and accurate reports;
