[Jessica Novak]

More than just pooling resources –
How strategic collaborations can help to advance your nonprofit's mission
KIRTLAND, Ohio –May 15, 2012 – The Lakeland Community College Nonprofit 
and Public Service Center presents “Understanding Collaboration” on 
Tuesday, May 22 from 8:30 - 10:30 a.m. on the college's main campus, 7700 
Clocktower Drive, Kirtland, 44094, in Building A, room 2100. Networking, 
sign-in and a continental breakfast begin at 8 a.m. 
In today’s economy, a combination of shrinking resources and rising demand 
is forcing all organizations, both public and private, to rethink the way 
they do business. 
Presenters at this seminar will explain the forces driving organizations 
to collaborate and demonstrate how strategic collaborations have helped to 
advance the missions of nonprofit organizations, enabling them to better 
serve their clients and communities. 
David Holmes of the Foundation Center will provide a framework for 
considering various collaboration options, outline the key steps for 
exploring partnership opportunities, and show how successful relationships 
can be forged.  Other presenters will provide Northeast Ohio examples and 
valuable perspectives on what works -- and what doesn't. 
Attendees will hear from Linda Johanek, chief executive officer of the 
Domestic Violence and Child Advocacy Center, a recently merged agency; Joy 
Roller, executive director of the Gordon Square Arts District -- a 
powerful alliance that has stimulated economic development, arts and 
culture, new businesses, jobs, housing, and neighborhood beautification; 
and Deborah Vesy, president of the Deaconess Community Foundation and 
co-chair of a major philanthropic initiative designed to promote the 
restructuring of human services organizations.
