Our country faces daunting problems that cannot be solved by one sector alone. The pandemic, the economic contraction, climate change, and the disproportionate impacts of each on communities of color are among the challenges that require an all-of-society response. By offering a vision of 'intersector' solutions, this volume shows how to build trust among actors in the public, private, and nonprofit sectors, and forge alliances that allow us to manage shared dangers, steward shared resources, and show that our democracy can work if we work it.” —Jane Wales, vice president and executive director of the Program on Philanthropy and Social Innovation, Aspen Institute; “To facilitate an intersectoral approach as a method for addressing public problems, we need new forms of expertise, accountability, and information. . . . This book will give a new generation of leaders the knowledge and tools to make a difference in andfor our public life through cross-sector collaboration.” —Bill Haslam, former governor of Tennessee (2011–2019) and chair of the board of trustees of the Wilson Center; “As the contributors to this volume make clear, by working together and establishing the mutual respect needed to trust each other, public, private, and nonprofit sector leaders can solve many of the nation's problems. The possibilities for public goodemerging from such collaborations are almost limitless.” —Erskine Bowles, former White House chief of staff (1996–1998) and president of the University of North Carolina System (2006–2011)

The Intersector makes the wise case that we're best served when those three forces intermingle. --Frank Bruni, New York Times columnist To facilitate an intersectoral approach as a method for addressing public problems, we need new forms of expertise, accountability, and information. . . .
