ECO-Action believes that collaboration is related to organizational effectiveness because it creates more openness and a possibility of movement and change. Ms. Williams notes, “It’s the kind of change that is a stepping stone. Our mission is to help people to work on their own behalf and address issues that affect them. They have to have the skills and resources to do it. Collaboration is the way to go. It’s powerful, but it can’t be phony. Everybody has to participate. And you have to deliver if you sign on.”
