State of the Community

Keynote Speaker, Dr. Brenda Kays

In a time of rapid change, leaders across all sectors, including community colleges, municipal governments, and the private sector, must excel at building effective partnerships to achieve shared goals. No organization succeeds alone. Leaders at every level need to understand how to go beyond what they can control and leverage what they can influence through strong, mutually beneficial relationships.

This fast-paced, practical session will showcase essential best practices for building and maintaining cross-sector partnerships. Attendees will leave with ideas and tools they can immediately use to strengthen current partnerships, start new ones, and expand their organization's impact through collaboration.
