COLLECTIVE IMPACT COOPERATIVE
Archon Eric C. Rhone, Sr.
Throughout our rich African American history in this country, we have been most effective in reaching community-based outcomes when we organize ourselves on one accord. Namely, the success of the civil rights movement was due, in part, to the ability to organize our
people around common issues that affected
the whole African American community. We believe strongly that collective impact is the best strategy for our organizations to become more effective in reaching our members simultaneously so that we may achieve maximum impact on designated community-based objectives. Sigma Pi Phi Fraternity will serve as the administrative hub for this effort through coordinating meetings and managing shared outcomes. We are stronger if we work as one.
