Member Duties : The VISTA will support clients and community engagement by producing a monthly internal newsletter and bimonthly social media posts, identifying client engagement strategies, and drafting a proposal to integrate client feedback. The member will be an integral part of the community engagement team and initiatives, and will develop strategies to integrate client feedback into programs. The member will gather and analyze client feedback by designing a client feedback method, creating a client survey model, and identifying client selection methods and communication channels.
