The Power of Many: Multi-Stakeholder Initiatives

When different groups of stakeholders come together and work for change, they often can achieve more than any one of them could have done alone. This breakout will focus on how stakeholders representing different backgrounds and perspectives can work together successfully on workforce improvement initiatives. Panelists will describe their experiences organizing and participating in different stakeholder-driven initiatives. Participants will hear about how to bring non-traditional stakeholders together and engage the audience in a discussion of how to implement successful initiatives.
