• GGA has a magic of convening bright, capable, caring people and watching what happens. • I would add to that just high levels of participant satisfaction and engagement. • So is GGA bringing new funders into the conversation. Who's attending these meetings? Strength of Impact of Relationships – 7 • Well, to stay with the SECF relationship and other state associations within SECF's footprint, I think an indicator of success is the extent to which GGA maximizes its impact for its own footprint while at the same time complimenting the impact of SECF and other state associations. • GGA could do a lot when it comes to a just and equitable Georgia. And so, I think there are complementary pieces here that can really work together to achieve some really great results and some great actions. • I want GGA to becomes a space and philanthropy is a space where elected officials hold philanthropy and regard and as a stakeholder and advisor if you will, that they should go to around key issues as maybe doing or conducting due diligence or committee development around any particular issue because the beauty of this group is that the foundations all cut across a lot of different areas. So whether it's education, early childhood development, healthcare. There's a lot of different arenas in which I think we have a lot of power and influence in our intellectual capital. And I would think that one potential aspiration could be to become that go-to entity that folks at that level that are making decisions and formulating policy see this as a group where they can come and that they should come. And we're influences in what can happen in policy in the State. Systems Change – 7 • What changes can we attribute to GGA influx and GGA programming, and GGA relationship building? • And I guess the last thing I would just say is a way to really understand non traditional philanthropy in Georgia. Where does that live? • I think GGA should have some sort of vision for what they want Georgia to be and orient a little bit around that. I don't think, for as much as it is the Georgia Grantmakers Alliance, I feel like more work needs to be done to building up Georgia as a place, almost. Right now I feel like it's treated as like Georgia is some disparate communities, and looking at things on a really more holistic statewide level, I guess. Reduced Racial disparities – 1 • I was going to say a measure could be the reduced racial disparities in every sector. Also, leveraging philanthropy as a really nimble, flexible innovator and to prove proof of concept for public partnerships.
