The Team Behind Our Groundbreaking Pilot Tackling the Benefits Cliff

Members of the Our ChanceTN team at an event for caregivers at our partner Greenhouse Ministries

The TAEM Team is the backbone of a 30+ organization coalition working together to address the benefits cliff. Based at Martha O’Bryan Center, we lead the coordination, infrastructure, and strategy that make this work possible.

From supporting caregivers and hosting community events to equipping coaches and ensuring partner compliance, our team keeps the network connected and aligned, equipping and collaborating with partners coaches and CRNs to ensure organizational compliance, strengthen partnerships, and expand our reach.

Every partner organization and coach plays a vital role in TAEM, and our team ensures they have the support and structure needed to succeed.
