Yet, these efforts can also feel like they take more work than the benefits achieved. From the initial stage of developing a cooperative effort to strengthening a longtime coalition, this workshop is appropriate for anyone working in cooperative efforts and settings. The workshop offers participants: An understanding of different models of cooperative efforts and benefits of each, An opportunity to learn about the core elements of effective participation and how to use them to assess and strengthen your cooperative effort, An approach in identifying persistent dynamic tensions in cooperative efforts and how to manage them more effectively, An opportunity to strengthen individual leadership skills to effectively participate in cooperative efforts, and A place to develop a plan of action to improve your cooperative effort. Who Should Attend This workshop is for anyone leading or participating in an ongoing or newly forming multi-organizational cooperative effort. The workshop is most effective when you participate with others who are a part of your network, coalition, or partnership.  We recommend that you attend as a group to maximize the resources and tools given and to achieve the desired results.

The workshop incorporates tools and exercises from the Institute's newest publication, "Working Together: A Toolkit for Cooperative Efforts, Networks and Coalitions."
