Partnership is essential for achieving the goals for the movement. The movement is global in its nature. The regional partnership can however have a greater impact, because of factors as language, time zones, travel costs and culture.
Regional partenership helps the partners to professionalize, to share strategy for community growth, adressing movement gaps and gain promotion strategies.
Regioanl partnership also makes room for management education, funding processes and ideas for strategic planning.
