Our Team

The Alliance for Innovation team is made up of experienced local government professionals, network builders, and innovation practitioners who are dedicated to strengthening the people who serve the people.
Staff Members
Together with our members, we are building a stronger future for local government.
Membership is organized into four regions, East, Midwest, West, and Texas, with an AFI staff member assigned to each region.
Regional assignments are as follows:
- Tracy Miller, East Coast
- Michael Wilkes, Midwest
- Hauson Le, West
- Michael Wilkes and Tracy Miller , Texas
Members receive a quarterly check-in to help us build engagement with your organization. AFI aspires to be the hub of innovation for local government, and we can only fulfill that role when we understand what our members are experiencing.


Our staff brings decades of combined experience inside cities, counties and professional associations across the country.
Because we have served in the roles our members hold today, we understand both the opportunities and the pressures facing local government leaders and we design our programs with that reality in mind.
