-Promoting electric school buses by contacting district transportation directors, hosting webinars, creating content for the Clean Air Choice website, and attending related conferences to network and promote opportunities.

-Developing communications materials such as social media, editorials, and e-newsletters.
Applicants may indicate their interest in serving with the Lung Association in their application and interview. While placement with us is not guaranteed, the MPCA places candidates with the host site that best aligns with their geographic preference, specific position interest, and skills.
