DESCRIPTION:For six years, the RE-AMP network—comprising 125 nonprofits and funders 
 across eight states in the U.S.'s upper Midwest—has been focused on just 
 one audacious goal: reducing regional global warming emissions 80 percent 
 (from 2005 levels) by 2050. And it's working.\nMuch has been written about 
 the power of collaborative networks to increase social impact. For 
 nonprofits and funders that want to go deeper on the tactics of how to 
 build an effective network, it is useful to understand how RE-AMP has done 
 it. The foundation of RE-AMP's process was the tools of systems dynamics 
 and multi-stakeholder facilitation that have been honed over decades. But 
 what is new is the way in which RE-AMP combined these well-known "best 
 practices" with network-centric "next practices" to create a robust, 
 resilient, and high-impact network—one capable of coordinating work 
 towards a common goal.\nDuring its two-month study of RE-AMP, Monitor 
 Institute identified six key principles that RE-AMP members followed in 
 building their network and described them for other social-sector leaders 
 in a comprehensive case study, available for free download at 
 http://www.monitorinstitute.com/reamp. Join us to learn about those six 
 principles and for a conversation about how to build collaborative networks 
 powerful enough to move the needle on major social challenges.\nBeverages 
 and light snacks will be served \n \nSpeakers:\nHeather McLeod Grant 
 (Author of the report and a senior consultant with Monitor Institute)\nRick 
 Reed (Original funder of RE-AMP with the Garfield Foundation)\nNoah Flower 
 (Lead researcher of the report and a consultant with Monitor Institute)\n
