Tina Alu has worked at Cambridge Economic Opportunity Committee (CEOC) for 37 years. She began her career at CEOC as the Family Planning Director. Tina became the Executive Director in 2018. What she has valued most about her work at CEOC over the years is that it has given her the opportunity to implement programs that the community has asked for, including its free tax preparation service, FAFSA assistance, financial coaching, and small cash grants. Tina has had the privilege to work alongside numerous dedicated colleagues, elected officials, and community members, whose voices are often not heard, to advocate for public policies that challenge the causes of poverty and income inequality, including the Rise Up Guaranteed Income project.
