“To scale an organization’s impact without scaling its size is the new frontier in … social innovation.”
—Jeffrey Bradach, Bridgespan Group founding partner
The Young Nonprofit Professionals Network San Diego chapter (YNPNsd) and Emerging Practitioners in Philanthropy (EPIP) are both organizations that consider strategic partnerships a key driver for creating positive impact. That’s why, together, we’re kicking off 2016 with a workshop on strategic partnerships and their potential for major social change.
Participants will learn how to assess, build and sustain authentic partnerships . And we will discuss the challenges and opportunities of working across organizations for greater equity and social justice in our communities. Come with questions about leveraging your organization a larger effort and fostering partnerships at any stage in your career. We can always learn innovative ways to make working together an easier, more common practice!
RSVP here to attend this working program with expert practitioner Camey Christenson, Director of Business and Partnership Development of 2-1-1 San Diego. A social worker and professional in the nonprofit sector for 22 years, Camey is a strong believer in collaboration.
