Description
Better Together: Collaborating through COVID and Beyond Presented by: Anne L. Gingerich, MSW, Offered in Partnership by: PANO & United Way of Bradford County Sponsored by: APPI Energy | Commonwealth Consulting Partners | FirstEnergy Foundation |

Knowing how, when, with whom, and what type of partnership is right for you is a process riddled with questions. In this workshop, we’ll cover the different levels of collaboration, the importance of collaboration for sustainability, and what it takes to build a successful collaboration, including:
This workshop will be rooted in guidance from the Standards for Excellence as well as real-life experiences, drawing from the wisdom in the room to paint a collective picture of what “better together” could look like in Bradford County.
