The Partnership and Community Collaboration Academy is honored to welcome 120 federal, state and nonprofit employees to our alumni network of over 1,300 graduates. Graduates of Managing by Network attended live, weekly, virtual training sessions starting in January and completing in early June right before the start of the busy field season. The Class of 2024 included participants from 13 federal agencies and partner organizations. They consistently brought their “A-game” to the six month course, while embracing the opportunity to learn from some of the leading practitioners in our field. 

Managing By Network just completed its 16th year. Thank you to the dedicated Federal Coordinators representing our cohosting agencies, and our all-star cast of guest speakers, instructors, and alumni.
