At United Way, we are conveners, bringing together communities, mobilizing volunteers, and enhancing life for individuals. We believe it is our job to bring together human service resource providers across our service area to network, collaborate, and convene around shared community issues.
The Quality Improvement Partnership Network (QIP) is a multipronged approach designed to bring resource providers from east Harris County through Chambers County together to tackle community issues, work collaboratively, and strengthen the collective capacity of services in our community. The QIP Network will focus on fostering cross community collaboration to lift individuals and the resources available to them.
The QIP Network is comprised of three components.
1. Resource Meetings: These meetings are designed to be a networking space that brings resource providers together from across the United Way service area. Human service organizations that provide services in the following zip codes are able to attend.
Zip Code Areas: 77514, 77520, 77521, 77522, 77523, 77560, 77562, 77580, 77597, 77661, 77665
Resource Meetings will be held quarterly. For more information on upcoming meetings and to register, click here!
2. Monthly Newsletters: The goal of this network is to work collaboratively and across our shared community. Members of the QIP Network will receive a monthly newsletter where they can see resources, events, and important updates from agencies across the network. Agencies are able to submit announcements, flyers, and other materials to be included in the newsletter, keeping our network up to date on what is going in our community.
3. Professional Development: One of the most impactful resources available to members of the QIP Network is access to free, quality professional development trainings held by United Way staff. United Way will host professional development opportunities monthly ranging in topics, locations, target audience, and length. There is something for everyone!
