Session 2: Leveraging Partnerships for Greater Good – Voices of Experience

March 25th, 8:30am-10:30am

Location: Mill One: 1 N Johnston Ave, Hamilton Township, NJ 08609

Moderator: Allison Trimarco

Now that we have discussed strategic partnership options, this session brings together nonprofit leaders [and board members] who have firsthand experience with mergers, collaborations, and program transfers to share what it really looks like from the inside.

Panelists will reflect on their decision making process, lessons learned, and the realities of navigating change. Participants will gain candid insight into what worked, what was challenging, and what they wish they had known earlier, offering practical takeaways for leaders considering or actively exploring partnership opportunities.
