County Coalitions

Unlike networks whose members act independently, coalitions bring organizations together to act jointly. 

Introduction

Coalitions form to address a specific, time- limited issue or they may sustain collaboration long-term.

Members draw on assets from their organizations, as well as seek new resources.
