This has been a great month where we explored the concept of giving thanks in a coalition space together. 

We kept the amazing Katie Bathje with us to record this VLOG . We hope you enjoy the conversation.  Highlights from our discussion include:

• Ensure you know how your coalition members will receive thanks (E.g, public recognition or a private hand written note)
• Consider a spotlight or a highlight in a newsletter, it might boost engagement 
• An “act of service” is another way to show gratitude, ie when a member has their own event show up and participate
  • This has added benefits of building trust within your coalition
  • Another way to increase engagement within your own organization
  • It helps you keep connected to what your partners are working on
