Tauro is the Planning Outreach and Engagement Director at Combined Jewish Philanthropies (CJP). Her responsibilities include oversight of the Transitions to Work program with a focus on business development and marketing designed to engage corporate partners to interview and hire program graduates and create change in hiring attitudes and practices to view adults with disabilities as qualified, committed candidates for appropriate employment opportunities.
