In this position, Tallman will be
responsible for advancing business growth, partnerships and
collaborations within and for Georgia's Latino business community,
public sector and corporate America. She will direct and manage all
operational aspects of the GHCC.
"I am very pleased
that Tisha will be the next GHCC President and CEO, following a

"Her strong background in the private, academic and governmental
sectors will provide a foundation for her leadership to our members
growing businesses and our supporting organizations. She will lead
the GHCC to become the Hispanic strategic leader in Georgia's
economic development."
Experienced at leading Latino

pieces and presents at national and local conferences on Hispanic
areas of interest including employment and election topics.
Tallman has been named one of the most influential
Hispanics in Georgia by Nuevo Impacto and under her leadership, her
office was the recipient of the OHTLI award, which is presented by
the Mexican government to individuals championing Mexican nationals
living in the U.S.
