Taking Action Together
Collaborative Leadership in Practice (CLiP) is a two-year bilingual project to strengthen collaborative, equitable and inclusive leadership in the non-profit sector —specifically in the context of partnerships and networks.
Through this Project, co-leads Health Nexus and Ontario Public Health Associate (OPHA) are collaborating with other external partners to share research, resources and learning opportunities that:
- Increase knowledge and understanding of processes and policies that centre equity-seeking communities in leadership and decision-making.
- Develop organizational skills to implement equitable leadership, based on promising practices from partnerships/networks across Ontario.
- Facilitate a culture shift which recognizes the need to examine and redistribute power and resources to achieve more collective and equitable practices.
The project began in March 2015 and will wrap-up in March 2017.
Below is a list of CLiP project advisory members who have contributed significant leadership to CLiP plans and activities. Some of these advisory members – Denise (LHION), Joelle (Nourish), Tong (CAWI), Odette (Oasis) and Maureen (CAAT) – represent the five partnerships/networks with a commitment to decentering power and applying anti-oppression frameworks who are sharing their stories, approaches/policies/procedures and current challenges towards the co-creation of new Ontario-based knowledge and tools.
In addition, regional gatherings are being organized in collaboration with local hosts who each offer strong and diverse leadership to regional event preparations.
We deeply appreciate the energy, wisdom and commitment of all these individuals and organizations.
