Nonprofit organizations are increasingly challenged to meet the growing needs of their constituents with diminishing resources. By forming the right partnerships, nonprofits can leverage their financial resources, skills, and capacities to ensure their missions are secured. Even more importantly, successful partnerships bring together a talent pool of leaders who can more creatively address complex issues and needs. Join Debbie McKeon and the leadership of several northern Michigan nonprofits for a panel discussion focused on the details of some partnerships that have formed in our region and that have other regions looking to us as leaders in this emerging field. Specific models and examples will be discussed and shared as well as practical tips for developing and maintaining the relationships.  

 

Designed for entry to advanced-level practitioners, volunteers, and board members.
