Teaming Up for Success: Collaboration Between Nonprofit Organizations and Government Agencies

Speakers: Shane Hope, AICP, Community & Economic Development Director, City of Mountlake Terrace, WA; Andre Leroux, Executive Director, Massachusetts Smart Growth Alliance; Jeremy Madsen, Executive Director, Greenbelt Alliance; Alison Van Gorp, Urban Policy Director, Forterra; Sally Wakefield, Executive Director, Envision Minnesota

Tight budgets mean state and local governments often lack the resources to plan for and implement smart growth. One way to help overcome these resource constraints is for nonprofit organizations and government agencies to team up. Such partnerships may force a fundamental rethinking of the traditional nonprofit-agency dynamic in which the nonprofit is the 'advocate' and the agency is the 'target'. The panel explores collaborations in the SF Bay Area and the Seattle region that attempt to forge agency-nonprofit cooperation.

This session provides practical, evidence-based strategies for integrated planning and implementation consistent with Smart Growth, but also specifically responsive to an aging population diverse in ethnicity, resources, health and functional status.
