Task: Joyce served as the project manager of a team of consultants assisting Legal Aid of Wyoming creating a new non-profit organization providing free civil legal services to low income residents of Wyoming.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Newly funded by LSC – Legal Aid of Wyoming is in start up mode endeavoring to create a new legal aid program from scratch while providing a range of legal services to low income individuals in Wyoming from three offices; Cheyenne, Casper, and Lander.  I am leading a team of consultants working with them to create the necessary infrastructure to establish and operate a program delivering high quality legal aid throughout Wyoming.  In short my duties include:

1) Managing a team of consultants at the direction of the ED and Board.  Typically this includes managing communication and work assignments between the consultants, program staff and Board.

2) Creating written work product as requested as well as compiling and editing written work product from multiple sources.

3) Staffing the Legal Aid of Wyoming Board Strategic Planning Subcommittee

4) Providing the program with research services related to specific areas of inquiry at their direction – for example: creating maps illustrating poverty populations, providing information related to emerging service delivery trends within the legal aid community, and securing documentation and other resources from existing legal aid programs.

5) Providing personal expertise and guidance with regard to the establishment and management of a non-profit organization.

My goal for this engagement was to provide ongoing support to the program and management team so they establish a highly functioning delivery system in Wyoming that continues to thrive long after my work has ended.
