Partnership Council

The Partnership Council is made up of executive-level leadership from business, education, government and community-based organizations. Its role is to provide strategic guidance to the Partnership—especially as it relates to uniting the work of organizations and individuals from diverse sectors throughout the community. The Council also directs the analysis and reporting of our data, helps make policy recommendations and holds staff and partners accountable.
