Build sustainable relationships with stakeholders.

Subject Matter Expertise, Policy Analysis, and Research:

Act as the subject matter expert and County representative for the gas leaf blower ordinance and related air quality and noise concerns.

Represent the County in media engagements, partner meetings, and committees.
Provide technical advice to internal departments and external agencies.
Collaborate with county leadership on legislative reviews and analyses.
Conduct analyses of best practices and trends for program priorities.
Support responses to air quality and environmental health emergencies.
Contribute to community wellness initiatives and emergency response functions.

Engage in the air quality work group and contribute to collaborative efforts addressing issues affecting the region.
