🌟 #HigherEd LinkedIn Community: I need your input! 🌟 I'm working with the Haas Jr. Fund on a 𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗱𝘀𝗰𝗮𝗽𝗲 𝗺𝗮𝗽 𝗼𝗳 𝗵𝗶𝗴𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗲𝗱𝘂𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝗱𝘃𝗼𝗰𝗮𝗰𝘆 𝗰𝗼𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗖𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗮, with the goal of documenting the universe of groups actively working in the higher education equity space. Too often in our field, we don't have full visibility of the amazing work being done, and coalitions can sometimes be confused with one another. This project aims to clear up that confusion and better connect stakeholders so we can leverage our shared goals and resources. I would love your input as I shape this landscape map! Specifically, we're looking for: ✅ Groups actively collaborating on shared campaigns or policy issues ✅ Single-issue coalitions focused on higher education only (e.g., access, persistence, affordability, coordination, transfer) ✅ Multi-issue coalitions with higher education as one of several focus areas  ✅ Focus on underserved populations  ✅ California-based or large regional focus in CA 𝗣𝗹𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗼𝗿 𝗗𝗠 𝗺𝗲 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗻𝗮𝗺𝗲𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗴𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗽𝘀 𝗼𝗿 𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗶𝘃𝗶𝗱𝘂𝗮𝗹𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝗼 𝗜 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗵 𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗹𝘂𝗱𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘀𝘁𝘂𝗱𝘆. Thanks to those of you I've already connected with for your valuable ideas, and to those of you I'm scheduled to talk to soon. I look forward to sharing the results with you all soon! #HigherEd #Advocacy #EducationEquity #HigherEdPolicy #EdPolicy #California #Coalitions #UnderservedPopulations Mandala Strategies, LLC

🎉 This Week's Most Valuable Presenter 🎉 A big congratulations to Stuart Boyd for winning Best Presentation this week! 👏 Stuart painted a clear picture for everyone in our chapter about the type of business Zinga's is looking for. He concisely explained what they do, had a specific ask (read further to find out), and – to top it all off – brought laughter to the room! 😄 It's always inspiring to see a presentation that not only informs but also engages and entertains. A special thanks to Jeromy Hodge for creating this fantastic award to recognize excellence in our newly formed chapter. It’s great to celebrate our wins together! ----- Stuart’s passion for helping families with special needs truly stood out during his presentation. His specific ask was: "If anyone knows a family with a child who has special needs and could benefit from guidance on understanding IEPs (Individualized Education Programs) or needs an advocate, I’d love to help. Even if they just have general questions, I’m here for them." With 7 years of experience working in the special needs community, Stuart has made it his mission to support families who often feel overwhelmed navigating the complexities of education and care for their children. His expertise, combined with his genuine dedication, makes him an invaluable resource for anyone seeking guidance and advocacy. We are incredibly proud to have someone like Stuart in our chapter, someone who seeks out opportunities not just to grow professionally but to make a lasting impact on our community and the lives within it. 🙌 His commitment to helping others reflects the heart of what our chapter stands for – building connections, providing support, and making a difference. If you or someone you know could use Stuart’s help, don’t hesitate to reach out. Let’s spread the word and help him continue making a positive impact! #BNI #SpecialNeedsAdvocacy #IEPHelp #CommunityImpact #NetworkingWithPurpose #MakingADifference #Networking #BusinessSuccess #Recognition #Teamwork
