The Community Partnership Award was the idea of many beautiful minds who believed that cross-sector partnerships transform the community … that collaborations, partnerships and alliances are the mark of great organizations. When leaders move beyond their own walls, find the right partner and collaborate, lives are changed, and healthy communities are built.”
