The need for PSOs to act as cross sector conveners and to take bold action toward community engagement is more important than ever. Solutions to some of the most pressing issues of this moment require a collaborative and innovative approach to partnerships and a specificity on the approach to racial equity. At this session, Philanthropy Northwest will share a learning community model of cross sector engagement that focused on tribal communities throughout the northwest region and how this model can be replicated for other PSOs to act as cross sector conveners in addressing complex challenges. Participants will learn about the learning community model and walk through the strategies employed for building out the process through a racial justice/decolonizing lens, undergoing "hard to reach" community outreach, building out a broad network of cross sector partners, strategic programming created for membership, and key outcomes of this initiative.
