    • Assess the need for services, determine the costs of providing them, and request the needed funding.
    • Plan and utilize available resources to maximize short and long-range effectiveness in working toward other goals.
    • Provide desirable and challenging employment opportunities to attract, retain, motivate, and develop personnel necessary to fulfill planned work activities.
