480+ partners · 186 schoolsBuilding an operating system for partnership at scale.
In his current district leadership role, Damon leads engagement and partnership-impact work across a large ecosystem serving schools, students, families, community organizations, and corporate partners.
What the work required.
At this scale, a list of partners is not a strategy. Leaders need shared definitions, reliable relationship data, clearer ownership, and a way to connect activity to outcomes and renewal decisions.
How Damon approached the system.
- 01Strengthen CRM practices so relationship history and commitments are usable institutional knowledge.
- 02Clarify partnership pathways, ownership, and stakeholder expectations.
- 03Build measurement practices that distinguish activity, reach, contribution, and outcome.
- 04Create executive visibility across priorities, risks, decisions, and follow-through.
What changed.
The operating scope includes more than 480 community and corporate partners serving an ecosystem of 186 schools, alongside CRM modernization and impact-measurement responsibilities.
