Breakthrough Communities

Tapestry Software Suite     

In the human and social services sector, there is universal awareness that no one organization, agency, program or service can address all of the needs nor solve all of the problems in a community. To address this dynamic, most communities have created collaborations or multiple-agency partnerships to address the myriad of issues.

Perhaps you have participated in a community collaboration or partnership. If your collaboration or partnership was made up of a group of individuals who agreed upon the objective(s), participated in designing a plan, took responsibility in implementing the plan, and objectively reflected on the impact of the work - then you were engaged in a way that was meaningful.

Characteristics of “Engaged Partners” include:

• Active and reliable participation by members
• Decisions made and acted upon with authority
• Multiple partners convey a single message
• The work of the partnership grows
