As RCPs grow and take on more activities, a steering committee and working groups may help the partnership make decisions, navigate relationships with outside partners, and take advantage of timely opportunities. When partners begin collaborating on planning, communication, and fundraising, tools like Memorandums of Understanding and partner and data-sharing agreements can also be helpful.
