Splashy cross-sectoral partnerships are in vogue. Governments, businesses, the military and the philanthropic community are teaming up to reach new markets, new audiences and new pots of funding. Great in theory, but are these partnerships working in practice? Moreover, does collaboration ensure impact?

This event is part of the Intersections in International Affairs series, hosted by the Master of Arts in Applied International Studies (MAAIS) in partnership with the World Affairs Council of Seattle, The Seattle Globalist, Crosscut and Global Washington, and made possible with generous support from the Henry M. Jackson Foundation. These events are free and open to the public. They are designed to engage international affairs stakeholders in honest and provocative conversations about the work occurring at the intersections of government, business and philanthropy. And how we can do it better

Please park in the garage underneath the Wells Fargo Building to facilitate easiest access into the venue. Enter the garage heading West on Madison Street between 3rd and 2nd avenues.
