Answer: (B)

Outreach work hinges on turning what you do into information others can use. A key duty of an Outreach Specialist is to prepare and maintain records and reports for outreach activities. This means collecting data from events, noting who was reached, what services were discussed, referrals made, and outcomes achieved, then organizing it into clear reports. This documentation keeps programs accountable, supports evaluation and funding requests, and helps leadership see what’s working and what needs adjustment. Creating community awareness is a core outreach activity, but the specific duty that directly supports ongoing management and accountability is the systematic recording and reporting of outreach efforts. The other options describe aspects of leadership direction or administrative tasks, rather than the essential data-focused duty of the Outreach Specialist.
