• Setting departmental goals, policies, and procedures, and tracking whether they're working
• Managing budgets, schedules, and long-range planning
• Reporting to the Board, presenting updates, and reviewing risk-related articles before they go out
• Representing CSDSIP at conferences and industry events

Being on the road

• Expect regular in-state travel to Member districts and regional trainings and workshops (up to 30 overnights a year), plus occasional evenings or weekends for meetings or conferences

REQUIREMENTS
