One way to help overcome these resource constraints is for nonprofit organizations and government agencies to team up. Such partnerships may force a fundamental rethinking of the traditional nonprofit-agency dynamic in which the nonprofit is the 'advocate' and the agency is the 'target'. The panel explores collaborations in the SF Bay Area and the Seattle region that attempt to forge agency-nonprofit cooperation. Audio CDs: 1 | | Audio CD | | $15.00 | | $15.00 | |
