Community Conversation Feedback – Non-profit and volunteer sector partners
In our first Community Conversation, our discussion focused on Community Engagement and private sector partners. For our final Conversation, we came full circle to discuss issues related to partnerships with public sector and non-profit partners.
As with the discussion on private sector partners, much of the discussion focused on recognition of partners and work involved in establishing and maintaining partnerships.
