The state of Maine partners with Lewiston Auburn Chamber of Commerce and Strengthen LA to implement a collective impact model that leverages relationships with businesses and addresses workforce needs for career seekers. Collective impact is a model for addressing complex problems that require complex solutions and strategies to solve - a way of addressing issues that are just too big for any one organization to solve on their own. This session explains the Collective Impact model, including how cross-sector partnerships can be nurtured. This session also explores how to identify if existing efforts might be a good fit for this model, and to expand the reach and impact of the SNAP E&T program.
Presenters:
- Shanna Cox, President and CEO, Lewiston Auburn Metropolitan Chamber of Commerce
- Brian Pickard, Vice President of Finance and Operations, Lewiston Auburn Metropolitan Chamber of Commerce
