Structure and Funding
The Aurora organizational structure is straightforward and practicable. The Executive Board is made up of one voting member from each of the agencies and is responsible for the overall direction of the program. Specific project work is undertaken by Technical Project Committees where project management and oversight occurs. For each of the projects, there is a committee chair or "champion" who acts as the lead project contact and is responsible for its overall success.
The Aurora budget comprises fees and contributions from the member agencies, as well as in-kind contributions. As the program continues to develop, it is hoped to attract private sector contributions and federal grants to boost program funding.
