Special Presentation: How to Make Partnerships Last: Shared Standards and Trust

Thank you to Angie Donelson, Ph.D., and Jenni Moreno, for joining last Monday’s call! They shared a case study detailing their expertise in building trust and collaborative structures between public agencies, foundations, nonprofits, and federal funders. Their presentation got at the heart of the challenge in how multi-organizational partnerships work together and increasingly productively over time to make progress for their community and region. Thanks Angie and Jenni for joining and sharing your expertise.
