Coalition Basics

A FREE MasterClass for Coalition Leaders

with Jennifer Redmond Knight, DrPH


One of the most common questions I get from coalition leaders is -

How do I help my coalition know what a coalition is?

We are leading coalitions, recruiting members, building partnerships, making plans, setting priorities and trying to work together, but the whole concept of a coalition and who is responsible for coalition work is really confusing. As someone who has provided leadership for coalitions and worked with coalitions for 21 years, it is easy to forget that the idea and concept of a coalition is not something that everyone knows!


If you are responsible for leading coalitions or you are participating in coalitions and you have been asking yourself any of these questions….

How can I clearly define a coalition for my staff, my leadership or my membership?

What is a coalition supposed to do?

Who needs to be part of a coalition?

Who does the work in a coalition?

...then, you will definitely want to checkout this free Masterclass: Coalition Basics.

In this MasterClass you will learn:

  • How to define a coalition

  • The stages of coalition development

  • Key things most coalitions do

  • Who is involved in coalitions

  • Common challenges coalitions face

  • Characteristics of successful coalitions


"Jennifer is truly a leader in the field of collaborative coalition work. When working together in Kentucky, under Jennifer’s leadership, our cancer coalition grew from 20 partners to over 50 organizations. Jennifer was able to identify and draw out the strengths of each partner at the table, which changed the tone of the entire coalition. Instead of getting ‘stuck’ on barriers or gaps, each partner could see their defined role and how their efforts were necessary to move the coalition forward."
