THIS WORK MATTERS!

Are you passionate about making a real impact on community health? Do you have a knack for navigating complex governance and policy? We have an incredible opportunity for a Community Health Center Board (CHCB) Liaison to join our dedicated team and play a pivotal role in shaping the future of healthcare in Multnomah County!

As the CHCB Liaison, you won't just be an administrator—you'll be the linchpin that connects our patient-majority governing board with the Multnomah County Community Health Center's senior leadership.

Key Responsibilities in this role include: 

• Serving as the primary liaison and strategic leader for the Community Health Center Board (CHCB). This includes independently managing all aspects of the CHCB program, from strategic planning, member recruitment, and training to ensuring strict compliance with federal, state, and local laws. You'll also be responsible for advising executive leadership on key policies and their impact on the health center.

• Oversee all operational and evaluative functions of the CHCB. This involves developing and administering board self-evaluations, conducting data analysis to inform program development and budget, and independently managing contracts, procurements, and vendor relationships. You will also address concerns and complaints from various stakeholders by conducting root cause analysis and implementing solutions.

• Lead all aspects of Community Health Center Board (CHCB) meeting preparation and logistics. This includes independently developing agendas in collaboration with key leaders, coordinating with staff and external vendors to ensure all materials, technology, and support services (like childcare and language support) are in place. You will also maintain public meeting records in compliance with state law.

• Serve as the central hub for all CHCB communication, training, and strategic support. You will develop communication tools, provide ongoing training and mentoring for members, and facilitate connections with internal and external partners, including the Board of County Commissioners. You will also assist with strategic planning, emergency preparedness, and balancing the board's needs with governance requirements.

• Act as a key educator and facilitator for the board. This includes developing communications and training materials for both the board and staff, and educating the community on the board's role. You will also facilitate the board's critical functions, such as the budget review, CEO selection, and policy adoption, while ensuring all HRSA requirements for board composition are met.

• Lead as the primary subject matter expert and coordinator for all CHCB strategic initiatives and community engagement. You will research and develop proposals for community partnerships, events, and advocacy opportunities, as well as coordinate the CHCB's participation in various community-based initiatives, from VIP tours to focus groups.

• Lead all promotional and communication efforts for CHCB activities. This includes creating a comprehensive calendar of events, developing promotional materials in collaboration with internal and external teams, and managing requests for information from news agencies and intergovernmental bodies. You will also facilitate connections with other county governance groups to support the board's work.

We are proud to be an Equal Opportunity Employer. As a Health Department employee you will create a work culture of respect, trust and understanding for the highly diverse populations the Health Department serves in the office and in the community.
