This session explores the challenges and successes of managing a collective impact organization, with a detailed case study of a community-based literacy initiative. Participants will learn how to navigate multi-sector partnerships, align diverse stakeholders toward shared goals, and sustain momentum in the face of challenges. The presentation will highlight real-world examples, including strategies for measuring progress, adapting to community needs, and balancing power dynamics among partners. Attendees will leave with actionable insights and tools to strengthen their own collective impact efforts, whether in literacy or other areas of community development.
