“What’s exciting about what’s happening today? What more do you need to know?”

In our time together today, we will…
- Learn about the roles of an anchor organization and a design team
- Review the basics of consensus decision making
- Strive for consensus to select an anchor organization
- Identify design team members- Talk about next steps
![Page 18: Imagine a healthy and thriving Western Montana. …...grantmaking and strategic initiative launched Community Medical Center sold, attorney general approved forming the foundation,](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042809/5f8e3e0093ca09544519e990/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
What’s an anchor organization?
• Act as main point of contact with Headwaters
• Act as fiscal sponsor for the collaborative
• Guide vision & strategy• Support aligned activities• Establish shared measurement
practices• Cultivate community engagement and
ownership• Advance policy• Mobilize additional resources
![Page 19: Imagine a healthy and thriving Western Montana. …...grantmaking and strategic initiative launched Community Medical Center sold, attorney general approved forming the foundation,](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042809/5f8e3e0093ca09544519e990/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
• The anchor organization does not set the agenda for the collaborative
• The anchor organization does not drive the solution
• The anchor organization does not receive all the funding
• The role of the anchor is notself-appointed rather than selected by the community
What’s NOT an anchor organization?
![Page 20: Imagine a healthy and thriving Western Montana. …...grantmaking and strategic initiative launched Community Medical Center sold, attorney general approved forming the foundation,](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042809/5f8e3e0093ca09544519e990/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
What are ideal traits of an anchor organization?
• Credibility and trust in the community
• Organizational capacity to manage complex, multi-year funding
• Experience working on early childhood issues
• Track record of an ability to get things done
• Organizational culture of sharing the credit, generating excitement and momentum
![Page 21: Imagine a healthy and thriving Western Montana. …...grantmaking and strategic initiative launched Community Medical Center sold, attorney general approved forming the foundation,](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042809/5f8e3e0093ca09544519e990/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Other key ingredients…
• It’s preferable that the anchor organization is a non-profit (501c)
• It can be a governmental (county, city, Tribal) or school district but additional restrictions may apply
• The focus of the initiative is to move the needle on three early childhood “buckets” – and the coordinating work of the anchor will be focused on one of the three:• Healthy pregnancies• Positive parenting• School readiness
![Page 22: Imagine a healthy and thriving Western Montana. …...grantmaking and strategic initiative launched Community Medical Center sold, attorney general approved forming the foundation,](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042809/5f8e3e0093ca09544519e990/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Our process for choosing an anchor organization today
• Headwaters believes this is a community decision, not a foundation decision
• If we can today, we will choose an anchor organization
• If we can’t reach consensus, the design team will establish a process for selection of an anchor organization
![Page 23: Imagine a healthy and thriving Western Montana. …...grantmaking and strategic initiative launched Community Medical Center sold, attorney general approved forming the foundation,](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042809/5f8e3e0093ca09544519e990/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Proposed process for choosing an anchor organization today
• Attendees will nominate a potential anchor organization
• Anchor nominees can decline, or will have up to 3 minutes to express their interest in serving as anchor
• Given the size of the room, we will use an electronic poll to see if there is consensus; if not, discussion at tables and a re-vote –70% agreement will be viewed as consensus
![Page 24: Imagine a healthy and thriving Western Montana. …...grantmaking and strategic initiative launched Community Medical Center sold, attorney general approved forming the foundation,](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042809/5f8e3e0093ca09544519e990/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Consensus-Based Decision Making
• Consensus is coming to an agreement that everyone can live with
• Allows for everyone’s voice to be heard
• Incorporates diverseexperiences & views
• Based on consensus building
![Page 25: Imagine a healthy and thriving Western Montana. …...grantmaking and strategic initiative launched Community Medical Center sold, attorney general approved forming the foundation,](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042809/5f8e3e0093ca09544519e990/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Anchor organization nominations
• Review the roles & traits handout• Think of who should serve as the
anchor organization – it’s okay if you don’t have an opinion at this time
• Nominated organizations will be invited to speak if they’re interested in serving as the anchor
• We will then conduct an online poll
![Page 26: Imagine a healthy and thriving Western Montana. …...grantmaking and strategic initiative launched Community Medical Center sold, attorney general approved forming the foundation,](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042809/5f8e3e0093ca09544519e990/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)

What’s a design team?• A design team is comprised of 8-14
people representing different sectors of the community
• The design team will meet 2 – 4 times this summer/fall to work with the anchor organization and Headwaters to create a scope of work
• This scope of work will be the basis of the final award agreement between Headwaters and the community collaborative
• If we can’t reach consensus on anchor, the design team will establish a process for selection of an anchor organization
![Page 30: Imagine a healthy and thriving Western Montana. …...grantmaking and strategic initiative launched Community Medical Center sold, attorney general approved forming the foundation,](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042809/5f8e3e0093ca09544519e990/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Ideal traits of a design team member
• Collaborative Leader• Communicator• Community Translator• Lifelong Learner• Politically Astute• Strategic• Practical
![Page 31: Imagine a healthy and thriving Western Montana. …...grantmaking and strategic initiative launched Community Medical Center sold, attorney general approved forming the foundation,](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042809/5f8e3e0093ca09544519e990/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Other key ingredients…• Local communities already have
an early childhood coalition • Given the focus of the initiative, it
may make sense for new members to join the coalition
• Ideally, the design team will be comprised of members of the existing coalition’s leadership team as well as new members (if needed)
• Today, we’d like to invite people interested in being on the design team to express their interest. At a later date, we will help to facilitate a meeting to establish a design team for the initiative
![Page 32: Imagine a healthy and thriving Western Montana. …...grantmaking and strategic initiative launched Community Medical Center sold, attorney general approved forming the foundation,](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042809/5f8e3e0093ca09544519e990/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
• Review the roles & traits handout• If you’re interested in serving on
the design team (or want to suggest someone who is not here today), we will ask you to volunteer shortly
• At a later date, we will help to facilitate a meeting with existing early childhood coalition leadership and interested organizations to establish a design team for the initiative
Proposed process for identifying design team today
