Collective action provides a pathway to greater scale, durability, and innovation. It also distributes and mitigates some of the risks that can undermine or deter individualized approaches. But what are the most successful, proven, and accessible forms of collective action in practice today? Which examples can we look to for how various models work at their best? And what should impact leaders be asking and weighing when determining the best ways to advance shared goals with would-be collaborators?

In this NationSwell virtual session, we’ll explore The State of Collective Action by introducing new analysis on the most prevalent models for collaboration, sharing a new resource designed to help leaders identify which approaches best fits their goals, and spotlighting other ways we’re helping you spark connection and partnership within our ecosystem.

This session will be more presentation-driven than our typical roundtables, with NationSwell providing a guided overview of key frameworks and examples, while also leaving space for discussion and idea exchange among participants. Expect to walk away with sharper language, clearer frameworks, and new opportunities to connect your organization’s work to broader collective efforts.
