• Act as a Strategic Thought Partner: Help shape the ERC’s strategy, priorities, and offerings based on strategic goals, legal trends, and customer needs. Identify systemic barriers facing education entrepreneurs and recommend scalable solutions.
• Collaborate and Innovate: Partner across the Stand Together legal team to improve processes, tools, and service delivery. Bring forward creative approaches to balancing legal risk with mission-driven impact.
