  16. Lessons Learned From Partnerships • (of all kinds) • Much easier said than done • Govt agencies (CDC or others) problematic • Merging the speed of govt and business creates friction • We absorb the heat

  17. Lessons Learned From Partnerships • Private sector partners • Don’t trust Govt • Must believe we represent them equally or more than Govt. • Must see themselves reflected in our Board
