Outreach partnerships are a powerful mechanism for organizations to amplify their influence, extend their capabilities, and achieve shared objectives. Within the Ohio Department of Commerce - Division of Financial Institutions, my role strategically embraced partnership outreach as a key driver to advance the agency's mission to promote financial stability and growth.

This specific event focused on celebrating Financial Capability Month with the Ohio Imagination Library, specifically First Lady Fran DeWine. 

Forming effective partnerships begins with identifying allies who share our values and goals. In this role, educational organizations, like the Better Business Bureau, aligned naturally with the agency's agenda as they work directly with the populations who most benefit from improved financial fraud prevention. 

Our outreach efforts involve collaborating with these partners to create resources tailored to the unique needs of their audiences and spread messaging that it useful for merging audiences.
