Our Advisory Council.

Strategic Leadership
CoHub’s work is strengthened by an Advisory Council made up of leaders and practitioners from across Southwestern Pennsylvania. Representing a range of sectors, perspectives, and areas of expertise, the Council helps CoHub stay connected to the realities communities are navigating across the region. Through ongoing conversation and quarterly meetings, Advisory Council members provide strategic insight, identify emerging opportunities, and help ensure CoHub’s work remains responsive, collaborative, and grounded in the needs of the communities it serves.
