Tabetha Wilson

Tabetha Wilson, an Albany resident, serves on many non-profit boards and committees that include AVillage Inc. (President), the Capital District New Leaders Council, and Grand Street Community Arts, and in an informal or ad hoc capacity with many other groups. Additionally she writes and provides coaching in the areas of personal/professional development, self-mastery, continuing education, non-traditional resources for training/skills, resumes, vision statements, interviewing and networking. Her mission is to be of service to her community and to lend her talents and resources to create a more equitable, inclusive society.

Currently, she works for the NYS Office of Temporary Disability Assistance, which oversees a range of the State’s most important programs for its low-income residents. Outside of work, she engages in many community based volunteerism efforts and has coordinated political literacy events to engage and educate citizens in their civic responsibilities and how they can use voting as a tool to empower their communities.

In the summer of 2017 she applied to fill a vacancy on the School Board, citing education as the primary vehicle for children to escape poverty and an interest in representing the millennial demographic poised to be the next leadership and policy making group. She was selected from the group of seven applicants and sworn in the beginning of the 2017 school year. She ran to maintain that seat in 2018 and was subsequently elected to serve a four year term.
