Same Mission, Greater Impact
With Glenn Montgomery, Executive Director at Vision Action Network 

In this workshop, we will consider the concept of “collective impact” as both a formal model and a conceptual framework for collaboration.  Designed to be an interactive dialogue, participants will walk away inspired to explore how their organizations can more effectively align with partners, stakeholders, and funders to advance their mission.
