What Leaders Need: Community Collaborations

In non-profit organizations, we carry the weight of many heavy challenges facing our student population. Imagine how light our adult literacy load would feel if we were able to spread the weight across many shoulders. Imagine how much more you could do if you had more hands to help.

In this special panel discussion, literacy leaders will discuss collaboration in their communities – what’s worked, what they’ve learned, and how to bring your community together for a common goal.

Panelists include: DesJean Peyton-Jones, Executive Director, Opportunities Industrialization Center (OIC) of Oklahoma County; Sarah Richardson, Executive Director, Literacy Council of the Ouachitas; and Kristina Rivas, Executive Director, Literacy Council of Bowie & Miller Counties
