Membership
The Power of We Consortium is often referred to as a "community collaborative" or a "network of networks." The PWC capitalizes on the power of social capital (features of social organization such as trust, civic involvement, and connection) and diversity to achieve positive results for the community. This desire to foster community-wide collaboration and to engage all segments of the population in community improvement efforts is reflected in the PWC's membership.
