Mary E. Walsh Center for Thriving Children

day scheduling, space, materials, travel, and logistics; planning events and meetings; managing key
recruitment activities such as scheduling and communications using a hiring management software
system; human resources and use of PeopleSoft); (2) information management (entering and retrieving
information; synthesizing information and drafting documents; anticipating needs for information flow;
documenting processes; managing electronic and paper files); (3) external relations (serving as primary
contact for the CTC and City Connects; serving as a liaison to external partners, advisors, vendors, BC
offices, and others).
