Champions for Change: Leading a Backbone Organization for Collective Impact is a multi-day interactive workshop designed for staff playing the backbone role and steering committee members of collective impact initiatives, demonstrating or working to implement all five conditions of collective impact (common agenda, shared measurement, mutually reinforcing activities, continuous communication, and backbone support).
The Tamarack Institute and The Collective Impact Forum have partnered to develop this dynamic learning experience to offer leaders of Backbone Organizations an advanced learning opportunity designed exclusively to develop their capacity as collaborative leaders. Participants of this learning event will explore topics such as:
- Clarifying the roles and leadership characteristics of the backbone organization
- Engaging the community in your initiative
- Fostering collaboration with funders, partners, and stakeholders
- Developing and learning from shared measurement
- Evaluating collective impact
- Sustaining funding for collective impact over the long term
- Understanding the essential mindset shifts required to accomplish collective impact
The workshop will take place in the beautiful Maritime city, Halifax, Nova Scotia. Take in your learning as you breathe in the sea breezes off the harbour. Spend your nights strolling the historic waterfront, eating fresh fish at cosmopolitan eateries or enjoy the east coast art and live music over a couple of drinks at Alexander Keith’s original 1820 brewery. Tamarack has also partnered with Destination Halifax to provide special VIP offers for participants of this workshop for a number of Halifax experiences. Learn more here.
