Leadership Team
The Leadership Team sets and enacts the collaborative programmatic agenda for the Partnership. The Team is composed of senior leaders from Partner organizations that, by design, represent a diverse matrix of geographic, sector and role perspectives.
The Team’s key areas of responsibility include:
- Setting the Programmatic Agenda — Utilizing data and stakeholder input, the LT sets the action agenda for the Partnership
- Adopting Proposals to Shift Policies, Practices & Resources — Review, approve, and champion proposals for Partners to shift policy, practice, and resources for greater equity, and
- Leveraging Institutional Power and Resources — Work with their own institutions and influence adjacent institutions throughout the county to enact the Partnership’s equity agenda.
