STRONGER RELATIONSHIPS, STRONGER RESULTS: ACAM NETWORKING 
········· 
Research and experience indicate that peer learning and networking are critical to successful organizational development. In response, ACAM has established networking opportunities for both funders and ministries:
  • Ministry to Ministry:   
    ACAM convenes several networking groups for leaders and staff of member organizations. including:
    • Executive Directors Network
    • Program Development Network
    • Volunteer Management Network
    • Resource Development Network
    • Thrift Store Institute

    Members of these groups enjoy the opportunity to share experiences, give support and learn from one another. They also benefit from training tailored to their needs.

  • Funder to Ministry:   
    Co-Learning Events provide opportunities for funders and ministry leaders to :
    • Develop connections outside of the framework of the ask/give relationship
    • Learn about topics of mutual interest, including best practices
    • Gain perspective about issues faced in each other’s work in the community
  • Program to the Public:   
    ACAM helps members utilize their collective strength to accomplish joint projects and purchases that they may not have been able to complete otherwise.

    In addition, ACAM members have received exposure in regional and national media, including articles in the Conference of Southwest Foundations newsletter, the Association of Small Foundations newsletter and the Texas Nonprofits Website.
