Listen, learn from, share and discuss with your colleagues in the field about organizational mergers, shared staffing and shared space and material resources among many possible ideas. YOU and other participants determine the breakout topics in a World Café and then Open Meeting Format. The goal is for each attendee to leave with at least one new idea, resource and/or collaboration to bring back to their organization.
