In her role as Project Coordinator, Ms Peterkin assists the Project Director with the coordination of all activities related to the collaboration and evaluation of the RIECs and the program as a whole. She interacts with each RIEC frequently and regularly to ensure that their activities are progressing as needed, and that the evaluation plans are being followed.
