Union of Concerned Scientists Pilots Ombuds Program

In October 2020, Hector Escalante was appointed to a one year term as the first Ombuds for the nonprofit science advocacy organization. He serves about 150 UCS employees that work at several locations across the U.S. His work does not include the 200,000 members of the organizations. Escalate has also been the Ombuds for the University of the Pacific since 2014 and Eathjustice since 2018. He is an active IOA volunteer and currently serves on the board of directors. (LinkedIn.)
