Session 903: Building Community Momentum: From Start-Up Initiatives Toward Collective Impact

Sign up or log in to save this to your schedule, view media, leave feedback and see who's attending!

More and more communities across the nation have formed STEM partnerships with a shared vision and action plans.  They are engaging partners from across the spectrum of business, education, government and community-based organizations in their work, and are already beginning to see the fruits of their collaboration.  Many communities also experience growing pains in evolving from start-up initiatives to – ultimately – the ongoing delivery of collective impact.  This challenge exists at the local, regional, statewide and even national level.  Join this workshop with leaders from STEMx states who are engaged in the work on the ground required to move networks along the continuum toward collective impact.  Learn how to apply STEMx tools – developed by the states, for the states – to your own community.
