Join together with the Tamarack Institute, the Collective Impact Forum, and Backbone organizations from across North America and internationally, to enhance your work in leading for Collective Impact.

This year's trainings will feature renowned speakers, John Kania, Liz Weaver, Paul Born, Veronica Borgonovi, and Jennifer Splansky Juster along with experienced facilitators in collective impact.

Champions for Change: Leading a Backbone Organization for Collective Impact is a multi-day interactive workshop designed for staff playing the backbone role and steering committee members of collective impact initiatives, demonstrating or working to implement all five conditions of collective impact (common agenda, shared measurement, mutually reinforcing activities, continuous communication, and backbone support).

Participants of this learning event will explore topics such as:

• Clarifying the roles and leadership characteristics of the backbone organization
• Engaging the community in your initiative
• Understanding the essential mindset shifts required to accomplish collective impact
• Fostering collaboration with funders, partners, and stakeholders
• Developing and learning from shared measurement
