Our Board

Talent Together’s Board was formed in January, 2024 after our consortium agreement was signed by all 56 members. This was preceded by the incredible work of our founding Governance Committee and Design Team. The structure of our Board ensures statewide representation with members spanning all ten regions of the Michigan Association of Superintendent and Administrators (MASA). Our current Board is followed by the incredible contributions of our 2023-24 Governing Committee and Design Team. For more information, see Board Meetings.
