Strong partnerships are more than collaborations—they're a gateway to transformational opportunities. This session will explore how cultivating trusted relationships with city, county, and state governments can position your organization for strategic growth, long-term funding, and expanded impact.

Drawing on real-world examples, we’ll share how our organization developed deep-rooted partnerships that led to:

• Becoming an official Aging and Disability Resource Center (ADRC) for our state
• Securing a VOCA grant to launch the Save Our Seniors program
• Gaining approval for Medicaid Administrative Claiming (MAC)
• Obtaining dedicated state funding to launch our Military and Family Helpline

You'll leave with a roadmap for building credibility, aligning with government priorities, and leveraging partnerships to unlock new service opportunities and funding sources.
