Barbra Stonerock of The Dayton Foundation also spoke at last Friday's workshop organized by the Ameican Humanics program at Wright State University.  

She talked about the many shapes and sizes of nonprofit collaboration.   Dayton offers more than a dozen examples of major partnerships.    Here are a few:  

• Homeless Solutions Policy Board's 10-Year Plan to End Chronic Homelessness
• Montgomery County's Community-Wide Ex-Offenders Task Force
• Get Up Montgomery County, a county-wide effort to address childhood obesity

Barbara challenged each of us to dedicate time to exploring collaborations and  shared  an  extensive list of  collaboration resources to help us get started.   Or listen online to David La Piana, an acknowledged expert on the subject, in this audio interview  courtesy of  the Foundation Center.
