Maximizing Partnerships: Uniting to Build One Bright Future for Your Community

Sign up or log in to save this to your schedule, view media, leave feedback and see who's attending!

Partnerships with other community organizations can help expand library events and outreach; however, optimal partnerships can be difficult to find, maximize, and maintain. In this session, Corvallis-Benton County Public Library staff will provide strategies, tips, and real examples that will help you start building the strategic partnerships you need to achieve your library’s goals. The session will cover how to look for strategic partnerships and what to look for in a partner; tips for aligning goals with your partners; strategies for building a long-term relationship with partners; and dealing with partnerships that may no longer be optimal. Attendees will leave the session with examples of documentation that can help establish working parameters with partners as well as a worksheet that will help strategize the best possible partnerships. There are many “points of light” in our communities in the forms of arts, service, educational, and government organizations – this session will help you figure out how to better unite with them to build your community’s “one bright future.”
