Celebrating my 10th year of consulting, I continued to evolve my organization development practice. Throughout year, I coordinated the Los Angeles Funders’ Collaborative, which connected me to multiple leaders, organizations and collaboratives working towards healthy, sustainable and equitable places. In 2015, I served 20 collaboratives and/or organizations, facilitating 30 retreats and meetings. Below are some photos I shared on twitter,
links and other highlights.

In addition, I also served:

• Livable Streets Alliance
• Burbank Community YMCA
• CHPC (California Housing Partnership Corporation)
• Gogian Foundation
• Hollywood Community Housing Corporation (HCHC)
• JFCS Long Beach
• Kidsave
• LA Mås
• Learning Rights Law Center
• Stand LA
• Urban Land Institute

Outside of that, I shared my findings on collaboration, which the Organization Development Practitioner published in their quarterly publication. I also convened a handful of gatherings of other folks who like me, manage collaborative change initiatives, to participate in a community of practice.

In the new year, my intention is to expand my practice and serve more collaborative based change initiatives addressing issues related to health, equity and sustainability, along the Pacific Coast.
