excited to announce a call for two job openings: Deputy

Universe and local and global astronomy events while
building networks to support and disseminate information
to amateur astronomy and public outreach communities,
primarily through its network of National Outreach
Coordinators (<a href="https://url.au.m.mimecastprotect.com/s/iI61CL7EwMfNpg18xFPZzur?domain=iau.org/" target="_blank" moz-do-not-send="true">NOCs</a>).<br>
