• Ability to build rapport across diverse communities
• Comfort with Google Suite, and project management tools
• Valid driver's license, insurance, and reliable, constant car access

Regular Tri-State travel required (expenses covered); occasional travel farther out for campaigns, workshops, or conferences.
