organizational relationships and suggest possible joint initiatives
for the coming year. In addition, the employee will be responsible for
developing a public relations protocol, wherein best practices and
contact lists will be developed for the purpose of distributing
information and announcements to the broader Peterborough community.

In addition to these projects, the employee will complete general
