“These teams are composed of highly experienced and talented professionals with deep backgrounds in crucial policy areas across the federal government. The teams have been crafted to ensure they not only reflect the values and priorities of the incoming administration, but reflect the diversity of perspectives crucial for addressing America’s most urgent and complex challenges,” the transition team’s website states.
Trinity University professor Juan Sepulveda and Noel Poyo, the executive director of the National Association for Latino Community Asset Builders, will both serve on the transition team.
