Building off the well-received Compact24 “Compensating & Recognizing Community Partners: Findings from a Survey of Compact Members,” Knowledge-to-Action Workshop, TRUCEN (The Research University Civic Engagement Network) Sustained Conversation Group members are offering a pre-conference workshop on principles and practices of compensating community partners. The workshop will preview content being developed for a Knowledge Hub to be hosted on Campus Compact’s website, which will provide community engagement professionals and faculty with tools to make the case for compensating community partners for their contributions to community engagement, with examples of processes and practices used by campuses across the country. The toolkit will include a section on the principles and philosophy for compensating partners that advocates can use in conversations with your colleagues in procurement, finance, HR, and fundraising, as well as colleagues in leadership positions. During this working session, participants will be asked to review case studies to help flesh out issues and challenges community engagement professionals face both on campus and off when working to compensate the diverse range of community partners we work with. Attendees will leave the session having had time to reflect on their own institutional context and begin to identify next steps in addressing these issues once you return to your home campus. Participants will also be encouraged to provide feedback on this resource in order to make it as useful as possible for different institutional contexts and types of institutions.
