Unity in the Community
Highlights from the report:“The core lesson, the fundamental truth, and the bottom line is that a partnership was at the heart of each successful effort. Every player—community-based organizations, local government agencies, the business community, neighborhood organizations, and individuals—was important. But no one player could successfully tackle the challenge by themselves.”
Unity in the Community
A collaborative is a group of community leaders who use an inclusive strategy to establish shared goals and agree to use their personal and institutional power to achieve them.Areas covered included:• Getting started• First meeting• Ready for action• Maintaining the momentum
Unity in the Community
Sample from First Meeting of the partnershipFirst meetings should be substantive. Share an overview of the issue or problem. Facilitate a discussion, asking these questions:
• What do we need to understand about this issue?• What are the barriers for this community to effectively resolve/• dismantle/address this problem?• How do the organizations at the table work on the issue? • What is their mission or vision?• How can we address these barriers as a group?• Do we want a community partnership to help us work together?• Do we have the right people at the table for this effort?
Unity in the Community
Sample from First Meeting of the partnershipAt your first meeting, set basic ground rules for interaction to create a positive dynamic. Consider using a skilled facilitator. Typical ground rules are:• One person speaks at a time.• Be respectful.• Listen as an ally.• Be concise and stay focused on the agenda.
It is not a partnership, it is a relationship!
