Session Resources:

Members of the Baltimore BASE Network have been meeting and collaborating since March 2020 to improve access to resources and opportunities for hundreds of small business owners navigating economic crises, major growth milestones, or chronic under-investment. In this workshop, you will learn about key insights and practices that have enabled this partnership to flourish and respond in a shifting landscape, as well as the tools we are building to maximize network assets over the long-term. We will explore how to build multi-sector partnerships, strategic alignment, and infrastructure for collaboration. We will also engage in a hands-on activity to build your skills for aligned action.
