While frontline resident services staff often provide direct programming and services for residents, most properties also rely on external partners to bring in additional resources, trainings, and services; and to deliver programming directly to residents. For many, partnerships have historically been developed in an ad hoc manor – leveraging opportunities as they present themselves – and without a system for identifying, vetting, and evaluating partners.

Two resources are highlighted in the presentations:

•  Guide to Partnership Management
• Health Partnership Readiness Guide
