Maintain Coalitions and Partnerships
You have already assembled a diverse group of individuals and organizations in order to address an issue or accomplish a goal. However, you find that you’re not growing or achieving your objective as quickly as you would like. Why? Perhaps it is time to examine your initial preparations and the current state of your coalition’s membership and resources. What barriers need to be removed for your (continued) success?
