<br />SCAG, Regional Active Transportation Safety and Encouragement
<br />Campaign, Orange, Imperial, Los Angeles, Riverside, San Bernardino,

<br />Outreach Manager. Sara developed and implemented targeted
<br />trainings and toolkit components. She established and facilitated
<br />six user group panels to provide input on active transportation
<br />for inclusion in the regional toolkits and trainings. The user
<br />group panels included four key constituencies: elected officials,
<br />employers, community organizations, and transportation/public
<br />health professionals throughout the SCAG region. To ensure
<br />local champions and influencers from each of the SCAG counties
<br />were tapped for the campaign, Sara developed a comprehensive
<br />database of key stakeholders and implemented various options for
<br />participating in the panels given the geographic reach of the SCAG
<br />region. She developed strategies, messaging, and materials for the
<br />panels; identified partners to serve as “train the trainer;” developed
<br />fact sheets, maps, “how to” guides, and presentation materials; and
<br />assisted with conducting workshops.

<br />California and Orange County, Sara has built strong
<br />relationships with key stakeholders, including the

<br />his team. Her extensive engagement with Santa
<br />Ana businesses through the Focus on 55 Business
<br />Program further highlights her commitment to
<br />fostering community growth and collaboration in the

<br />and engagement program.
