Sustained Collaboration Network Podcast – Ep 3: How to Build a Shared Service Collaborative: Lessons from ECOST

By NNSI Editorial Team

In this episode, we are talking about shared service collaboratives. Shared service collaboratives occur when organizations coordinate activities to create more efficient or higher-quality operations. This episode features a conversation with Marjorie Murat, CEO of Dallas Afterschool, and Errika Flood-Moultrie, founder and CE0 of Connections Multiplied and Connections Multiplied, Too. They describe the Early Childhood and Out-of-School Time (ECOST) workforce development program, where early childhood, summer, and afterschool programs share a common staffing agency, payroll assistance, and healthcare coverage for staff. They describe how the program was created and how it evolved to meet the needs of participating organizations and staff needs.
