• Develop and execute strategic planning for coalition priorities, activities, and expenditures
• Urban, transit, and environmental policy assessments
• Development, write-up, and adoption of Active Living and Healthy Eating Plan for each coalition
• Working with Jefferson County Public Health and the Kaiser Permanente (the evaluator) to develop evaluation metrics that aligned across platforms

Greening the City also worked as a Built Environment Coordinator at Jefferson County Public Health, and conducted an in-depth best practice/evidenced based review of policy and built environment practices that increase rates of active living.
