HEPP staff Deandra Lee attended the 2025 virtual Collective Impact Summit. The summit brought together backbone leaders, practitioners, funders, partners, and more to explore how we can shape our collective future. The summit explored how community collaboration rooted in equity and belonging is an essential ingredient in shaping a world where everyone thrives.

Some key highlights:

• A session on designing collective impact with a Theory U Approach
• A reminder for collective impact leaders to slow down and unlearn toxic productivity to be responsive and less reactive.
