![Page 15: Appalachian Colleges Community Economic Development Partnership (ACCEDP)](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062520/568164f3550346895dd75e2e/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Creating Partnerships
• The first step is the greatest, if it takes you off “the island.”
• The college needs to understand the community’s economic development history in order to build on what is already in place.
• The colleges’ partnerships should be open and transparent.
• The college-community partnerships should be a two-way street.
![Page 16: Appalachian Colleges Community Economic Development Partnership (ACCEDP)](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062520/568164f3550346895dd75e2e/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Creating Partnerships
• The college team should be aware of any potential sources of conflict in the economic development community.
• The partnership’s first undertaking should set the stage for success.
• At the end of the day, the process and the partnership need to be backed by results.

Building Capacity
• Community economic development engagement must be shown to be relevant to the college’s educational mission.
• Relevance to educational goals means relevance to curriculum, academic rewards, achievement, and advancement.
• Creating a new organization can help solidify the college-community partnership.
• Broader campus involvement gives a better footing to capacity gains.

The Role of the University
• The first year of a university’s work with a small college should be considered the college’s learning year, or the period of project development
• The college and university should work together to define and develop their partnership.
• Technical assistance is the most important resource, and should be the most intensive during the college’s first year.

The Role of the University
• When it comes to training and materials, less is more.
• There’s more than one right way of doing almost everything.
