This 102-page handbook was written by Jenifer Agosti and published in 2002. It is designed to help agencies recruit resource families by actively engaging the business community, including both the public and private sectors.
Each section of the handbook starts with a checklist of the key questions that agencies need to answer. Within each section are hints and tips that offer additional ideas and program highlights that illustrate how each technique has been used in practice.
Handbook sections include:
- Getting Started
- Developing a Partnership
- Working with Your Partner
- Funding the Initiative
The appendix is comprised of many tools, including a sample press release, newsletter article, and focus group discussion guide, all of which can be adapted for specific use.
