CCPH PRINCIPLES OF GOOD COMMUNITY-CAMPUS PARTNERSHIPS

Partnerships form to serve a specific purpose and may take on new goals over time. Partners have agreed upon mission, values, goals, measurable outcomes and

accountability for the partnership. The relationship between partners is characterized by mutual trust, respect,

genuineness, and commitment. The partnership builds upon identified strengths and assets, but also works to

address needs and increase capacity partnership balances power of all partners. The among partners and enables resources among partners to be shared. Partners make clear and open communication an ongoing priority by striving to

understand each other's needs and self-interests, and developing a common language.

Principles and processes for the partnership are established with the input and agreement of all partners, especially for decision-making and conflict resolution.

There is feedback among all stakeholders in the partnership, with the goal of continuously improving the partnership and its outcomes.

Partners share the benefits of the partnership's accomplishments. Partnerships can dissolve and need to plan a process for closure.
