**Did you know: **
[Some studies](https://hbr.org/2014/08/why-women-dont-apply-for-jobs-unless- theyre-100-qualified) indicate that the average female-identifying person will apply to a job only if they feel that they qualify for 100% of the requirements? Persons of color experience this at an even higher rate. Whereas male-identifying people will apply if they feel that they qualify for 60% or more of the requirements. Now you (may) know something new, and we want to encourage anyone who feels that they might be qualified for the role to apply. You may be surprised! We do not and shall not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion (creed), gender, gender expression, age, national origin (ancestry), disability, marital status, sexual orientation, or military status, in any of its activities or operations.
