Facing finite resources and complex challenges, organizations are partnering across sectors to get powerful results.

 

Introducing the greaterthan › conference: exploring new models of partnership between the corporate, nonprofit, government and academic sectors… where the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.

This inaugural, national forum will explore innovative approaches to new opportunities and powerful solutions to the major challenges of our time.
