Most successful partnerships involve organized entities such as recreation
groups, non-profit organizations, and/or branches of government that are
chartered to provide public benefits (for examples of past RTCA Alaska partners,
see our Projects & Partners '90-'01).
In some cases a land management agency may be a key partner, but in the case
where an agency/entity is responsible only for permit or letter of
non-objection, it is better to consider that party "outside of your circle of
partners."
Government chartered advisory boards, commissions, and/or legislative bodies
are typically not engaged as partners in cooperative projects. Instead,
they provide forum for public review and ultimately approval of a project
proposal that hopefully represents the consensus of the community as developed
by the partners.
