We have also worked at the systems level, building collaborative approaches to common challenges.  Examples include:

• work for the National Volunteer Initiative to build fund development capacity in nine national health charities.

RETHINK  has also assumed project management roles in the early stages of significant ‘breakthrough’ initiatives such as ‘Champions of Workplace Diversity’ (a Calgary consortium of over 20 organizations committed to collaborative vocational support) and Rotary Challenger Park (a $13m outdoor sports complex for persons with disabilities in Calgary).
