“I am extremely excited to join Aware’s team and continue its rich history of transforming lives,” said Day. Throughout my 25-year career in Human Resources, I have loved serving employees and look forward to continuing that work at Aware. In today’s climate, I am committed to cultivating an inclusive workplace culture that produces better outcomes for our H.R. team, employees, and clients. These values will bring us together in ways that will help us connect, belong, grow, and stand out.”
