In his new position Mr. Howard will be responsible for leading the sales and marketing teams, producing events, and establishing and maintaining relationships with parents of students, and corporate sponsors.
"Aurora's needs-based and merit-based scholarship programs are innovative and have been very successful.

"I'm proud to be joining the Aurora team, and to be part of the very real success that Aurora makes possible for so many families."
