Leadership Workshop: Building Healthy Partnerships with Community-Based Organizations

Relationships are at the core of serving communities. How is building a community partnership similar to building a healthy relationship? By combining our diverse perspectives and skills, Cornell-based faculty, staff, students, with community members can address public issues and help build a more sustainable, just and collaborative future. By the end of this brief workshop, you will be able to:
* Identify aspects of exemplar, ethical community partnership building
* Identify appropriate partners for your project
* See risk as an important dimension to serving the public good
* Initiate and build sustainable partnerships
* Nurture cultures of trust and reciprocity in partnership
