 2. Kim Amsler, Emily Aubele, Erin Connelly- Strengthening Relationships to
Achieve Common Goals Hemlock Room
 Join the panel of presenters from United Way of the Greater Lehigh Valley, PA 211, and UWP to
explore how you can grow and strengthen relationships within your communities and across
the state to reach your common goals and advance your mission. We will highlight each of our
relationships with the Eastern PA CoC – and discuss how each partner is combining their skills,
experience, and knowledge to strive toward a common goal to end homelessness. Each partnership
is unique, just as every community is unique, but when each of us brings our strengths to the
table, we are able to make an even greater impact. While the Eastern PA CoC is region specific, the
programs, goals, and lesson learns will be valuable and applicable to every community.
