Collaboration | The Bucks-Mont Collaborative for Health & Human Services

Monthly Gatherings

The Bucks-Mont Collaborative convenes monthly for members to share resources, hear from speakers and leaders in our community, and connect with and support one another to build lasting relationships. During the COVID-19 pandemic, our monthly gatherings are virtual.

ED & CEO Conversations

Executive leaders are welcome to join this weekly ED & CEO member conversation series. These conversations serve as an outlet for organizational leaders, a venue to share ideas and resources, and a space to discuss how recovery is going during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Task Forces

The Bucks-Mont Collaborative organizes three task forces to amplify impact in the community. These include the Access and Membership Task Forces and Collaborative Advocacy Network.

The Access Task Force convenes quarterly to collaborate on access issues in our community, including transportation, information, and population-specific access needs. To join this work and increase access for all in Bucks and Montgomery Counties, please contact the Task Force Chair, Anthony Johnson, Deputy Director, Partnership TMA, info@ptma-mc.org.

The Membership Task Force convenes bi-monthly to discuss Collaborative membership needs, stewardship and growth. Committee members build relationships with and among members to help deepen collective knowledge of membership missions and services, opportunities for partnership, and member support. To join this task force, please contact the Task Force Chair, Jennifer King, Executive Director, The Council of Southeast Pennsylvania, Inc, jking@councilsepa.org.

The Collaborative Advocacy Network, or CAN, convenes bi-monthly to share community and policy updates that impact the social sector in Bucks and Montco, bringing these updates to Collaborative members and the larger community for collective voice and action. In addition, CAN plans and hosts an annual legislative forum to engage elected officials on the issues and needs most pressing in our community. To join CAN, please contact the CAN Co-Chairs, Dan O’Brien, Bucks County Coordinator, PCCY, and Shirlee Howe, Montgomery & Delaware County Coordinator, PCCY (Public Citizens for Children and Youth), dano@pccy.org and shirleeh@pccy.org.
