In preparation for next week’s archival workshop and tour, I attended a webinar entitled “Building Bridges #2: Community Outreach.” The webinar focused on the importance of building and maintaining strong community partnerships and explains why these partnerships are integral to outreach and success. Collaborations not only help us gain more outreach opportunities, but also help us operate more efficiently (save money) and communicate more effectively. The presenters introduced other benefits of partnerships, which include tapping into community assets/strengths; enabling knowledge and vision sharing; using technology for outreach opportunities; and most importantly, increasing respect for diversity. The webinar concluded with tips of how to find creative ways to be resourceful and how to drive partnerships with purpose, passion, gifts, and without setting limitations.
After the workshop I will leave for the holiday break and take the next “midnight train to Georgia.”
Until next year! Feliz Navidad!
