The Benefits and Costs of Building Partnerships...
At all levels of government, partnerships are becoming increasingly prevalent. From roads and highways to water supply and waste management, from electrification to environmental projects, local, state and national infrastructure systems increasingly involve partnerships of the public and private sectors in their design, finance and management.

This phenomenon brings daunting but exciting challenges. The first challenge is simply defining just what a partnership might mean. In its simplest form, a public-private partnership could be defined as a contractual agreement between a public agency (federal, state or local) and a private sector entity. Through this agreement, the skills and assets of each sector, both public and private, are shared in delivering a service, product or facility for the use of the general public.

Join leading experts and trainers as they guide you through an engaging program that will have you examine new avenues and workable solutions for building successful partnerships for a stronger community. Learn effective tools and strategies to engage all stakeholders and build sustainable results in your community. Engage in a program that will help you identify the strategies necessary to lead effectively and strengthen your role in local government.
