"Alliances Are Everything - Keys to Effective Collaboration"
Featuring Chris Curtis, Director of the Neighborhood Farmers Market Alliance

You've created a vision. You've set a goal. Now it's time for the special magic of collaboration-just the right alliances to help you bring your dreams to fruition.

Many of us know the thrill of shared passions when the ideal collaborators jump on board. But what allows people to stay engaged and see things through in the best possible way? And especially for the long haul?

Chris Curtis has deep knowledge of how successes happen when partnerships are able to find their synergy and work toward a truly collective vision. At the July 12 breakfast, she'll share stories of what she learned from developing Seattle's neighborhood farmer's markets and their alliances, including having the right attitude, diligently serving as an advocate, and much more.

Find out how Chris navigated and learned to work with diverse groups-individuals, tight-knit and image-conscious communities, a breadth of public service agencies, government councils, and other organizations-to create a public benefit for nearly 20 years.
