  • Develop programming, taking into consideration the College’s strategic goals and mission
  • Facilitate or delegate leadership of meetings/gatherings
  • Manage the budget provided in accordance to Accounts Payable policies
    • Send all requests for spending and follow-up receipts to the Assistant of Inclusive Leadership

Facilitators who do not meet the above requirements will not receive an annual stipend.
