The communications specialist will work with the CO180 leadership team to manage the organization's internal and external communications plan, while also taking the lead on the integration and coordination of messaging and communications activities across all initiatives, to ensure a strategic and coordinated approach within the organization. The grant will further support maintenance of and minor enhancements to the new CO180 website.
