Workshop details:

The 2015 Community Action Strategic Plan includes an objective to help coordinate and catalyze coalitions and ad hoc groups working on goals to stabilize families, equip them to exit poverty, and engage the community in anti-poverty work. To do that, we invite our board, staff, volunteers and partners to build skills using an innovative model of enhancing community partnerships, and to discuss how we may apply the model to strengthen existing or needed collaborations in Skagit County. J. Hope Corbin, PhD, Assistant Professor at Western Washington University’s Human Services Program, will present her “Bergen Model of Collaborative Functioning,” and walk participants through an informal assessment of one of their networks or coalitions. Elizabeth Jennings, Community Engagement Manager for Community Action of Skagit County and the Skagit Volunteer Center, will facilitate a simple exercise for assessing the functional mission and opportunities for growth along the continuum of Network > Coordinate > Cooperate > Collaborate.

Learning outcomes: 1) Participants will learn how to utilize the Bergen Model of Collaborative Functioning with their own networks and coalitions. 2) Participants will examine a recent partnership experience using the model. 3) Participants will learn how to guide a coalition in conversation around client/community mission, functional mission, and set shared goals for future coalition development.
