ABSTRACT

In this chapter, we present a set of cases written by brokers in the field that relate to each of the components of brokering to strengthen the partnership. We present each subtheme under brokering to strengthen partnerships: governance and administrative structures, processes and communication routines, and assessment and continuous improvement. Under each subtheme we organize the cases according to more specific headings that relate to broker actions like creating DUAs or meeting routines. Then, we provide a short description of each case so readers can understand the content of the case and how it relates to practical actions brokers take to strengthen partnerships.
