We will assist you in building partnerships and connection initiatives:

Working Group Meetings
We convene Connect America Working Group Meetings with top leaders in the fields of business, government and nonprofit to discuss issues and ideas of interest. We have the meeting space and can assist with coordination and logistics. You select the issue, we will bring people to the table, and you will get input from the best and the brightest.

Conferences, Meetings and Briefings
We provide keynote speeches, plenary presentations, workshops, seminars and training sessions at national, state, and regional conferences and special events in topics that include, but not limited to: partnership development; working with low-income communities local coalition development; volunteer mobilization; and trends in community service. In addition, we provide briefings on these issues to board of directors and/or advisory council members.
