Council Members

The Talent Alliance Council includes members of five implementation teams, a data management team and other key constituents. The Council is convened twice a year for the purposes of providing opportunities to network among the various participants, creating awareness of existing resources and programs related to the cradle-to-career education continuum in Central Indiana, and presenting current updates on the progress and activities of the Talent Alliance.
