What are the key challenges of administering the BEST project?
Administering the BEST Project requires solid skills in time management, an ability to prioritize work, and excellent communication skills. Administrators respond to multiple requests from diverse stakeholders, including funders, consultants, agency leaders, and people outside the BEST Project who want information about the program. It is important for the person in this position to understand the perspective of these stakeholders as regards their role with BEST and respond accordingly. Pro-active communication about BEST decision and plans with agencies, in particular, as well as with consultants has helped to build trust.
