Newark Collaboration Group

• Program Director

  • 1991 - 1993

  Provided oversight of six public/private working groups for one of the more commonly cited social partnerships, the Newark Collaboration GroupFormed in 1984 thanks to the efforts of Prudential executive Alex Plinio to bring together key leaders from the city's various sectors -- business, government, non-profit, neighborhood, academic, and religious. At the time, Plinio said, "there was very little trust, very little hope, no vision, and the governing sector on its own could not manage the city effectively. There were just innumerable problems." The primary purpose of the group was to collaboratively explore Newark's most pressing issues, to provide a forum for bringing people together to talk, to find common ground, and to work together on solutions. Through task forces and large public meetings, the group arrived at a future vision for the city and a specific action plan for achieving it. The initiative led to more than $500 million in redevelopment efforts, as well as major improvements in housing and public education. It also spawned an offshoot collaborative venture, the Newark Education Council. "Although opinions differ on who was responsible for Newark's revival by the end of the decade," David Mathews observes, "most agree that one decisive factor was this communitywide collaboration and a public that had learned to work together across racial, interest, sector, and economic boundaries."
