If you’re at the beginning stages of exploring a new partnership, this module is designed to prepare you for partnering. Some societies hire contractors to help with this process and some navigate on their own. In either case, this module is the first step towards making sure you are well-informed and able to take on a partnership process. In this module we’ll introduce the fundamentals of partnerships, including defining terms like collaboration, cooperation and partnership, and explore legal considerations. We’ll also introduce a seven-phase model of the partnership process.
This is the first in a series of five modules designed to help affordable housing providers make well-informed decisions about partnering.
