AOR's Board of Directors has identified diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) as a priority work area for 2022 and beyond. The AOR Board recently voted to focus short-term efforts on re-launching a DEI Committee and empowering that group to identify possible next steps for the organization, such as a near-term work plan.

What is your name? Rick Paul
Where do you work and what do you do? Retired, but volunteer board member of Rim Rock Recycling in Burns, Oregon
Tell us how you embrace recycling/sustainability into your home or workplace? I recycle whatever is possible in a distant recycling area. We have limited items for recycling.
On December 14th, the AOR Membership voted to approve proposed revisions to our bylaws. The bylaws were previously amended in 2017.
The purpose for these changes has been our desire to bring Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) to the forefront of our organization, increase the board’s flexibility to adapt in rapidly changing times, create more opportunities for crossing training and collaboration, and to clarify board procedures such as decision-making.
