Partnerships
CTAQC used a multi-level network of partnerships to assure that the summits were well attended by a diverse set of stakeholders. Regional partners, representing civic, faith-based, environmental, disability-rights, seniors, and business interests, signed on before the summits began and helped to notify their constituencies of each summit.
Each summit was co-sponsored by local partners, who helped to select an appropriate site, date and time and also advertised the event to their constituencies. Mini-summits (which were held to increase the participation of under-represented groups) were completed in partnership with one co-sponsoring organization.
