This position will coordinate the services provided by the three divisional consultants and lead state-wide activities to ensure standardization of services being provided. This includes but is not limited to planning and hosting workshops and education activities, holding office hours, planning webinars, tracking opioid settlement payments and projections, assisting with county and agency reporting, and supporting external funding applications.
