Mayor-elect Ben Walsh today unveiled his complete, 86-person transition team. The team will be responsible for building a new administration and setting into motion Walsh's policy goals as he prepares to take office on Jan. 1, 2018.

Last week, Walsh announced his three transition co-chairs, Sharon Owens, Linda LeMura and Chedy Hampson. Today, he released the full organization chart showing who will be tasked with what in the coming month.

Who's on the team?

Walsh's team consists of past and current government officials, non-for-profit leaders, clergy members, neighborhood organizers and people from the private sector.

It includes four of his former opponents for mayor: Howie Hawkins, Alfonso Davis, Chris Fowler and Raymond Blackwell.

Others on the team include elected officials at the city and county level, the president of CenterState CEO, a top member of County Executive Joanie Mahoney's administration and the head of Central New York's labor federation.

"The transition team reflects the broad coalition of people we brought together during my campaign, representing different neighborhoods, backgrounds and points of view." Walsh said in a press release. "These committee members will address the greatest areas of need in our city, and will work to inclusively share ideas and actions for change."
