4. Strength and Gap Analysis Survey Results Dec. 2017
Add other areas of strength and give some detail regarding how you envision using your strongest contributions to the benefit of The ECC:
My strong problem solving and analytical skills have helped by looking at an issue and recommend options as well as methods for options selection. I have good presentation skills, I can dissect information in a useful way so the message is understood and expected outcomes are clearly defined.
Identifying legal risks and issues
Willing to enhance basic skills through working with The ECC in any capacity required.
I envision using my skills in project management to better support the subcommittee I belong to.
My two areas of strength are communications and government relations. Strong communications will help The ECC reach public awareness/friendraising/fundraising goals. Government relations knowledge will help The ECC figure out who to approach, and when in the political cycle it makes sense to do so.
