- How can our organization capture the individual, organization, and community strengths, assets, skills for better resource sharing?
- What are the best ways to create/build partnerships that are trusting and fruitful in racial justice work, knowing the work can be emotional and “messy”?

- How does our organization skillfully approach the possibility of needing to close?
