A Public/Private Partnership It can work! What are some key components (Elanco perspective): – “Wildly” engaged senior leadership – Dedicated time and resources….and mean it! Specifically identified (and funded) programs Targeted use of people…and their skills Half day per quarter devoted to hunger cause Does not have to be a huge investment….but focus is important – Lots of “invested” employees Not all wish to participate….though many do But, everyone need to understand why! 9
