SPOTLIGHT


The first Eastside Pathways Collaborative Convening saw a gathering of more than 80 community members - partner executives, members of collaboratives, and community leaders - who listened and learned as facilitators and leads of the Eastside Pathways collaboratives shared their work and campaigns.

The convening celebrated the work of the collaboratives and acknowledged the dedication of the leadership and members of the collaboratives for their work on the five goal areas of the Eastside Pathways Partnership. There was also opportunity for connecting and networking with partners to understand more deeply the intersections of their work and share their own learnings along the way.
