Issues Management & Rapid Response Establish proactive horizon-scanning and issues-management capabilities to anticipate shifts and mobilize rapid responses. Lead coordinated responses during high-stakes moments and drive scenario planning and risk assessment for leadership and the Board. Coalitions & Public Positioning Participate in and help steer pragmatic coalitions that align stakeholders behind shared policy objectives. Shape visibility strategies in partnership with Communications to reinforce the association's reputation as a science-based, trusted voice. Deliver compelling testimony, comment letters, and thought leadership that influence substance and narrative.
