AURA Diversity Advocates
 

AURA has established at each of its managed centers a Diversity Advocate reporting to the Director.  This person will be involved in both Human Relations and outreach and educational activities to focus on workforce development. We envision that this person will encourage inclusion of women, minorities, and persons with disabilities in candidate pools and will coordinate other activities that have potential to broaden participation.
