This session will focus on the qualities and elements of truly successful partnerships. Hear how other coalitions have built and maintained long-lasting partnerships with corporations, foundations and stakeholders to support their local injury prevention programs. It takes time, trust and teamwork to form sustainable partnerships that empower and motivate a coalition to service its community. Safe Kids is unique in that it isn’t a sole proprietorship, but a network
of partners that come together for a common goal: saving children’s lives.
