Design, manage, and monitor larger strategic initiatives (e.g., rural health clinic, youth center, soccer pitch projects) ensuring alignment with mission, legal compliance, and long-term sustainability.
Develop and report clear KPIs for scholarships, grants, and special projects (e.g., # youth served, graduation rates, program-completion metrics)

Board Partnership & Governance

Collaborate with the Board Chair to set agendas, prepare board packets, and facilitate productive meetings (in-person or via web conference).
Keep the Board informed on financial, programmatic, and sector trends; research topics as requested.
