Apply to Join ORS Council

“Hire a championship team, not a team of champions”

The ORS Council is not "one size fits all." A mixture and balance of personalities, strengths, leadership styles, levels of experience, and more needs to exist on each floor, within each facility, and facility-wide. This mixture and balance is what has allowed ORS to be successful, year after year.

Only applicants selected for an interview will be contacted. All others are thanked in advance for their interest.
