Bloomington has formed racial equity action teams in city departments, hosted the City’s own Pride Celebration, and facilitated a community-driven strategic planning process. Professionally, Tim works as Government relations manager for SkyWater Technology, a U.S. owned and Bloomington-based semiconductor manufacturer.
