KEEP IN MIND… What are the key strengths the partnership has to rely upon? What are the key challenges the partners are facing now? What is the organization’s commitment to tackle these

challenges? What is your personal commitment to tackle these challenges? What is the difference we are making together? Where are the pockets of energy that if supported to grow will

take us where we want to go? Where are we bogged down? What is the most important thing for us to be talking about now?
