TMA Communications & Strategic Partnerships Coordinator

Through its TMA Communications and Strategic Partnerships Coordinator AmeriCorps VISTA position, TMA seeks to advance equity in the Mid-Atlantic region by supporting the development and effectiveness of campus-community partnerships and increasing higher education institutions¿ collective commitment to develop students, staff, faculty, and community partners as globally engaged citizens. To accomplish this, TMA must increase its organizational capacity to reach a larger percentage of students, increase institutional membership, and increase visibility and brand-recognition with non-member institutions and corporate and community partners. TMA annually provides $1.5M in capacity-building services to the region, which in turn leverages upwards of $600 million in services which are contributed by member campuses to the region. The VISTA member will help the organization effectively share this story by using TMA¿s core messaging strategy and conducting outreach to representatives from the business and non-profit sectors to investigate opportunities for fund development and program expansion. This work is connected to TMA¿s Collective Impact Initiative, which builds the capacity not only of colleges and universities and their students, but community partner organizations and community members as well through civic and community engagement work.

TMA is deeply committed to fostering meaningful community partnerships and creating opportunities that ensure all voices are valued and represented in civic and public life. Through its work, TMA supports institutions in building more accessible, responsive, and collaborative approaches to engagement.
