Our Team

Empowering the next generation, our devoted team leads with heart, purpose, and deep community roots. Currently a volunteer-led organization, TAGa is run by a dedicated Board of Directors, with our President also serving as functional Executive Director. We steward the mission with passion and care—while actively working toward expanding our team and building the organizational capacity needed to sustain and scale our impact.

TAG Association Board of Directors

Our Board of Directors is made up of TAG alumni and former educators whose lives were shaped by the very program they now champion. Rooted in lived experience and shared commitment, we carry forward TAG’s legacy to ensure that new generations of talented and gifted youth have access to the same transformative, culturally affirming opportunities that shaped us.

A Message from The TAG Association President

Welcome to Talented And Gifted Association and our extended TAG Family! Whether you were once a student, parent, or educator in the TAG Latino Program or are new to this community, we invite you to join us in elevating the Latino community through education, art, and culture.

The TAG Association is a small but mighty, Latina-led organization that thrives on the time, talent and generosity of our alumni and friends to drive transformative educational, cultural and community development programming. We have an incredible opportunity to disrupt inequitable systems and practices and to create opportunities that empower, advance, and bring joy to our gente.

Like you, the TAG Association embraces the responsibility of ensuring that experiences which transformed our lives remain available to our community — today, tomorrow, and until they are no longer needed. En la unidad está la fuerza. I look forward to working closely with you and our team as we engage our broader community, strengthening the programs that celebrate our culture, educate our youth, and elevate our community.

In service,

Ilyitch Nahiely Tábora, PhD

President, TAG Association
