I prepared concise, accurate, and nonpartisan written responses to legislative requests for information. Responded to various general policy research requests received daily and weekly from NCSL’s members. I collected, monitored, and analyzed data on legislative actions and state and federal programs using the internet, available state legislative databases, public and private organizations, etc., and tracked state legislation in assigned policy areas. I researched and kept track of state legislation in 1-2 externally facing databases every one to two weeks and maintained internal tracking on several other issues to stay up-to-date on state action. I designed web pages based on emerging policy areas or as assigned. Contributed to written publications, summarized legislation, researched specific state programs or activities, and provided other research for reports, short publications, or articles. I authored short publications such as blogs, two-page LegisBriefs, and a more extensive story in NCSLs State Legislature Magazine. Provided logistical support and assistance with meetings and other convenings for NCSLs members, including but not limited to in-person and virtual meetings, as well as webinars, on policy topics for small groups of Child Welfare focused state legislators and staff, contributed to planning tasks, such as research, background information, speaker identification, as well as agenda development and on-site support, and creating presentations by providing research, state examples, background material and other information for slides and talking points, to include providing public speaking/presentations. Traveled 5-8 times a year to support meetings with NCSL’s members and/or external partners and to provide logistical support.
