@IMLSDirector We were looking for a way to bring more attention to our historic HIV/AIDS activism collections and wanted to find ways to partner with local people and groups doing that activist work today.
@IMLSDirector #CommCatalyst: As community conveners, #museums are the perfect place for leading multi-sector, multi-layered issues that require input and action from government, non-profit & corporate partners.
@IMLSDirector Our #Hunger2Health partnership w @Gr8BosFoodBank, @The_BMC, @babson & others is working w legislators like @RepMcGovern to push the needle on collaborative action for ending #foodinsecurity in Massachusetts. #CommCatalyst
@IMLSDirector We worked most directly with a community organizer who focuses on health justice; our first major connector was one person though, affiliated with a state-wide advocacy group that just introduced us around until we became familiar faces.
@IMLSDirector @AprilRoving Explora and partners have all found smaller funding sources to continue moving forward and growing. Individuals and organizations are utilizing resources developed with this funding. #CommCatalyst pinterest.com/exploranm/prin…
@IMLSDirector We worked closely with @CNMonline, @UnitedWayCNM, Partnership for Community Action, Family Development program with UNM, early childhood educators, Pueblo of Acoma, Haak'u Learning Center, Toy Lending Libraries throughout the state, and so many more!
@IMLSDirector It was tough to find them at first, but once we made some good connections the Library has acted as a convener, and let our advisory group of activists work out the kind of project they want to see.
Anything specific that jumps out to you? #CommCatalyst
@IMLSDirector Asset-based community development has helped us create amazing programs within our community and strengthened the bonds with our partner organizations. #CommCatalyst
