Target Audience: Service Providers/Helping and Aspiring Professionals, Nonprofit Organizations, Government Agencies, Businesses

Description: What has worked for you and not worked for you when working to increase community engagement in your organizations and why? What do you do with the information you gather from community members and how do you increase transparency and accountability around these processes? How can organizations cultivate the patience and consistency necessary for this long-term work? How can we identify our strengths and avoid duplicating efforts by building partnerships with those who already have authentic relationships with community residents? Guided by her lived and professional experience, Behavioral Health Community Organizer Tamika Daniel will share tips and strategies to address these challenges and facilitate a discussion that will help us answer these questions together.
