As an organizer, the Outreach and Engagement Director will engage long-standing members and also create connections with prospective members and partners, providing opportunities for CTA members to learn about and take action to advance some of these initiatives. As a visionary, Outreach and Engagement Director may also work closely with staff and the Vision Council in crafting and implementing initiatives, including but not limited to community mobilization, lobbying, alternative liturgies, and virtual programs and events.
