    • Anticipate program needs and develop and drive strategies that support coordination and inclusivity across the City's workforce and elder justice landscape.
    • Prepare reports and materials for grant-funded projects, inter-agency initiatives, and oversight agencies, including the Mayor's Office.
    • Represent NYC Aging externally at meetings, forums, conferences, and government oversight hearings where participants may include elected officials, employers, service providers, subject matter experts, funders and others from the city, state, community and/or corporate sectors.
