5. Project description
Provide a short description of the project including strategies, regional challenges, aims and specific project activities.: 

A Portland Community College Project Management class chose to review RCE Greater Portland (aka GPSEN)'s governance structure and partner model and made recommendations for best practices, as we transitioned to become an independent non-profit. They were helping us overcome challenges in building an effective multi-sector network, which allowed us to have the needed capacity to run our organization beyond volunteer support, with the end of course release from PCC for our current Coordinator, Kim Smith. We are currently using their recommendations to help us move into the next iteration of our network, to more effectively achieve our short-term and long-term objectives.
