Collective Impact (and its updated versions throughout the years) is a framework for community-based change. Processes grounded in Collective Impact have successfully supported groups in addressing complex issues - issues that require more than one sector to work together. Collective Impact can bring us out of our silos and help us strategically contribute to the whole.

In this Connection Session, two guest speakers from Illinois join us to discuss Collective Impact and how it is different from other types of collaboration. Through an interactive discussion, we will gauge interest in further conversation on this topic.

Guest speakers: Anya Knecht, Knecht Research Consulting & Design, and Owner and Farmer at Anya Farm Megan Murphy, Food Systems Coordinator, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign
