DataHub Advisory

Membership in the Michigan DataHub Advisory Committee ensures that key stakeholders from across Michigan’s diverse geography, use cases, and perspectives have a voice. The group is composed of 10 to 15 representatives—at least one from each MAISA-represented region—joined by core partners CEPI and MDE. This structure fosters balanced input and consensus, ensuring that major decisions align with the DataHub’s overarching vision and goals.

DataHub Support Specialists (DHSS)

The Michigan DataHub is backed by a dedicated field team of over 50 DataHub Support Specialists. Their primary role is to provide on-the-ground assistance to local districts, ensuring the successful implementation of the DataHub platform at the local level.
