Partnerships Can Help Councils Share the Burden and the Benefits

摘要

A little help can go a long way in making a tough job easier to manage. Partnerships or collaborations with other councils, community groups or service organizations can be an effective way to help ease the workload, organizational or financial burden of support projects with which Navy League councils are involved.From ship commissionings and Navy Week events to Individual Augmentee (IA) recognition or welcome home celebrations for returning Sailors, Marines and Coast Guardsmen and women, councils and their partners can take advantage of the efficiencies of teamwork by sharing resources, manpower and expertise. Partnerships can improve public awareness and better the prospects for participation, as well as lay the groundwork for more cooperation in the future, which can benefit everyone involved, especially if it helps attract new members.
