JTA Staff will help Alliance Partners to:

• Work collaboratively with partner organizations to discover their mission, activities, priorities, decision-making process and then, together, identify ways or opportunities in which the organization might participate.
• Develop funding and capacity building opportunities that fit the profile of your organization will be provided to enhance the organization’s participation.
• Aggressively outreach to broaden the range of interests, issues, organizations, and constituencies represented in the Alliance.
• Facilitate participation in Statewide Alliance Meetings by developing appropriate materials and information prior to meetings, developing consensually a clearly-defined, concise agenda, and providing, as possible, approximately four weeks notice. (The frequency of meetings is expected to be approximately one a calendar quarter.)
• Provide on-going issue trainings, skills enhancement, technical resources, and media support, as appropriate, for all Alliance activities
• Update partners monthly on activities with ongoing networking made possible through subscription list-servs, phone calls, visits, and other means.
