New Indian American
Community Outreach Board
Seeks Volunteers
The City of Aurora is seeking volunteers to serve on what officials believe
is the State of Illinois’ first municipally-sponsored board aimed at helping
to promote Indian American culture — the Indian American Community
Outreach Advisory Board.
The Indian American Community Outreach Advisory Board’s mission is to:
• Serve as a bridge between the Indian American community and all
other communities in Aurora.
• Build higher levels of civic engagement between local government
entities and the Indian American community.
• Provide opportunities in local and international economic development
efforts for Aurora’s current Indian American residents and businesses, and,
• Embrace the Indian American community into Aurora’s cultural outreach efforts including
welcoming exchange students, visiting dignitaries, cultural events, and others.
Members of Aurora’s Hispanic Heritage
Advisor Board and African-American
Heritage Advisory Board welcome
members of Aurora’s Indian American
community to a group dinner celebration.
Residents interested in volunteering to serve on the board do not have to be Indian American to
serve. The City is seeking an initial group of nine members who will be tasked with establishing the
board before filling all 18 seats. Applications are available on the City’s website at www.aurora-il.org.
