Description

Many great partnerships are easily developed by using resources that are already there. You only need to know where to look for them. This session works along a similar principle: within our movement, there is great potential for collaboration on projects and programs among the affiliates. However, finding a good partner within our movement is not always easy!

This session has a solution to this problem: come with your concrete idea for a cross-affiliate partnership and leave with a new set of partners from within the movement. In this session, we will open and facilitate a partnerships market. The market place will allow participants to present their partnership idea, get introduced to many other ideas for cross-affiliate partnerships, and finally, find a suitable partner and get to work!

Ideally, already come prepared with a concrete idea for a cross-affiliate partnership you would like to explore!

Desired Outcome

Many new initiatives for cross-affiliate partnerships

Next Steps and Milestones

Next steps will be defined by participants when exploring ideas during the workshop
