Why register for our Effective & Equitable Collaboration Cohort?

"Participating in the cohort really reminded me of the foundational skills needed for effective collaboration. It gave me the opportunity to step back and think about when collaborative activities were challenging and identify what was missing - we didn't plan for conflict or we didn't take the time to develop group agreements or we didn't go deep enough in to the why of the collaboration. Whether you've been collaborating for years and just need a refresher or new to collaboration, I would recommend participating in this cohort."
- Salena Acox, Operations Director Youth Development at YWCA of Minneapolis

Also special thanks to Courageous Change Collective (Nou Yang Sindy Morales Garcia and Kirsten Johnson) who facilitated a very key board meeting between Pollen staff and board early in our journey. The results of that meeting set us on a trajectory towards alignment and justice.
