The Magic of Partnerships

I feel like I hear that word so much more often now that I am in the Partnerships business. I was recently at a conference in Washington DC where I learned that helping major corporations partner with non-profits is a virtual industry. If that’s the case, then I am proud to say that once again I find myself a novice on a steep learning curve. And as is my wont, I will proceed without the benefit of extensive experience so much as a passion for finding the most direct route to doing something that has an impact. So, when I was asked by Andrea Useem to comment in an article for Devex on the subject, I was happy to share my experience in the wild frontier of partnership building. Here’s the piece, and I am truly honored to be quoted among peers who are making the term “partnerships” really mean something by focusing on impact and long-term strategic collaboration. http://www.devex.com/en/news/5-keys-to-effective-partnerships/79643
