Competencies in Focus: Coalition Structure

How did a coalition serving a 16-county region build and sustain a structure that supports collaboration and decision-making?

This webinar highlights a real-world example from the Southern Illinois Tobacco Disparities Partnership, with Kelli Corner sharing how the coalition formalized rules and systems to guide communication and maintain effectiveness across a large service area.

The session begins with a brief overview of the Coalition Structure competency, outlining the evidence behind why structure matters. This competency is part of CADCA’s Coalition Competencies, a research-backed framework designed to advance the work of coalition leaders, funders, and other partners.

Rick Collins, CADCA Trainer, will conclude with best practices and practical guidance that coalitions can use immediately to apply to their own work.
