• Manage, monitor and report the compliance statistics of statutorily mandated trainings for State officers and employees and Lobbyists by utilizing web-based systems and computer software such as SLMS, Access, and Excel. Strong excel skills are preferred and candidates with experience filtering and analyzing data will be given preference.
• Serve as an information and educational resource for the regulated community and other organizations including local governments, special interest groups, not-for-profit organizations and academic institutions that regularly contact the Commission for information and guidance in the field of government Ethics and Lobbying.
• Assist in the design of professional training materials and flyers using Adobe InDesign, Microsoft PowerPoint, Articulate Rise, SnagIt Editor, and other desktop and online publishing software.
