Isabella Moreland is New Director of Marketing and Alumni Engagement at TALI

The New Pittsburgh Courier has learned that The Advanced Leader­ship Institute (TALI), an organization committed to strengthening com­panies, institutions, and communities by cultivat­ing leadership, is excited to announce the promo­tion of Isabella Moreland to Director of Marketing & Alumni Engagement. Moreland has an exten­sive history with TALI, previously serving as the Marketing & Communi­cations Manager for three years. Prior to that role, she served as TALI’s Mar­keting Intern from 2019-2020, where she helped maintain the organiza­tion’s social media pres­ence and brand.

In her new position, which she assumed in April 2025, Moreland will oversee TALI’s marketing and alumni engagement efforts and ensure their alignment with the or­ganization’s mission and vision. While she will con­tinue to lead and imple­ment TALI’s overarching marketing strategy, she will also support the en­hancement and delivery of programming for the distinguished TALI Alum­ni Network—a growing community comprised of over 280 talented leaders from Pittsburgh and be­yond who have completed a TALI program.

“Isabella has been a part of the TALI Team for sev­eral years, and in every role, she has demonstrat­ed leadership, innova­tion, and a commitment to helping TALI and our community thrive,” said Evan Frazier, President and CEO, The Advanced Leadership Institute. “It is for these reasons and others that I am confident that Isabella is the right person to serve as our Director of Marketing and Alumni Engagement.”

“I have had the privi­lege of witnessing TALI’s positive evolution, and in my new role I am excit­ed to continue contribut­ing to TALI’s growth and success,” Moreland said. “Our TALI Alumni are at the heart of everything we do, and it is an honor to have the opportunity to support these leaders in this capacity. By integrat­ing marketing and alum­ni engagement respon­sibilities, I look forward to collaborating with the team to identify new op­portunities for enhancing alumni programming and expanding our presence regionally and nationally.”

Prior to working at TALI, Moreland worked as a Marketing Strategist for Highmark Health. In this role, she worked col­laboratively with a team of seven to provide mar­keting and project man­agement support to all departments under the Highmark Wholecare (for­merly Gateway Health) line of business.

Moreland is passion­ate about providing solid marketing strategies that will help an organization tell its story and promote its brand, while simulta­neously building a strong community. She has been recognized for her lead­ership and contributions when she received the in­augural PRSA Pittsburgh Black Excellence Award through the 2021 PRSA Pittsburgh Renaissance Awards (sponsored by Burson Cohn and Wolfe.) and was included in the New Pittsburgh Courier’s Fab 40 Under 40 2023 class. Additionally, More­land received TALI’s In­spiring Innovators Award in 2025.

Moreland graduated from John Carroll Univer­sity with a BSBA in mar­keting and a minor in po­litical science. During her time as a student, she was a member of the school’s Women in Business club and the Chi Omega Fra­ternity Upsilon Mu Chap­ter where she served as Recruitment Chair from 2019-2020.
