Aurora Educational Strategies Names Neal Howard Vice President of Development

Online, May 26, 2011 (Newswire.com) - Aurora Educational Strategies, the leader in accelerated learning, has named Neal Howard as their new Vice President of Development.

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. The Aurora Day School is growing exponentially, and we are committed to making even more scholarship dollars available to our students for the coming school year," said Kellie Huff, Aurora Strategies' CEO and founder of the Aurora Day School. "Our success in helping students with learning challenges gain 2-6 years in development during each school year is a model that Aurora is extending to more families. Mr. Howard's skills and experience are an important part of that."

"One source of funds that Aurora has been successful in distributing to our students comes via tax credits from individuals and corporations.

"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."
