Nonprofit, government, business, philanthropy, and community leaders need to work collaboratively across organizational and sector boundaries in order to address complex challenges.
From assisting leaders with formation, structure, and trust-building to developing a shared understanding of root causes, systems change strategies, and collective accountability measures, our work encompasses every phase of partnership building.
“Cassandra easily speaks the languages of both corporate leaders and community advocates. She has hands-on experience in the business, community, nonprofit, and government worlds, which she combines with up-to-the-minute cross-sector partnership leadership skills. She brings strategic thinking about the setting, participants, agenda, meeting outcomes, and the best ways to achieve these to every event. She was a key ingredient working in visible and invisible ways that lifted our cross-sector partnership in King County, Washington, to its highest potential.”
– Kirsten Wysen, King County
