Community Liaison Officers (CLOs)
On your scholarship application it says to contact your CLO for recommendation and comments. What exactly does that mean?
A CLO is an APICDA representative that works as a liason between community residents and APICDA's HR department. A CLO can assist you with the various programs APICDA offers. They can tell you what job openings APICDA has and help you decide which scholarship to apply for. CLOs also works with the teachers to brainstorm and develop proposals for the school grant that APICDA offers each year.
