I help systems-change leaders get clear on who they are and where they’re going | Executive Coach & Cultural Change Strategist

Request: I'm looking for examples of communities that have moved toward housing multiple backbone entities under one roof. So, instead of having a collective impact partnership focused on C2C, and one focused on housing, and one focused on social-emotional supports or mental health, and one focused on public health, all with separate 501(c)3s or fiscal agents....they have taken the approach of maximizing resources & talent by aligning efforts under one roof. Any great examples of this done well? What becomes possible? What are the challenges to consider? #collectiveimpact #placebasedpartnerships #backbones Tagging in a few folks who may have some experience with this: Bridget Jancarz Kimberly Sama Josh Davis Ryan Lugalia-Hollon, PhD Dreama Gentry Heidi Black Sarah Cotton Rajski (she/hers) MacArthur Antigua Ashley B. Stewart Tanisha Pleasant, MBA (she, her) Alexandra Canalos Castillo, MSW, ICF-PCC Chelsea Powell Katie Napolitano Courtney Williams Robertson Paul Schmitz Dominique Samari Jerry L. Hawkins, M.Ed. John Meurer Jessica Safransky Schacht any examples in the United Way world? Dave Celata any examples you saw as the Wisconsin Partnership moved throughout the years? Please share even if you weren't tagged! That's just my brain, which sometimes moves pretty fast.
