Final Progress Reports
The Administrative Core serves as the central organizing structure for the program. Its primary roles are to provide administrative support; serve as a communications facilitator and source of information for various local, state, federal and other agencies, the media, and the general public; coordinate and facilitate outreach activities, the training program, and the planning and oversight functions of the program; and assist in other administrative and communications activities as necessary. This core has continued to serve the needs of the program, providing basic administrative and liaison support, as well as developing a number of new outreach and training initiatives. Nancy Serrell serves as the Outreach Coordinator, and Joanne Sugarman is the Financial Manager. Debra Barton is the Business and Administrative Assistant. Bethany Fleishman recently joined the staff as the Outreach Assistant, working with Nancy Serrell on the core’s community-based outreach projects.
