Motivated by the fiscal crisis, 19 northern Cook County and Lake County municipalities have formed a new business model where they work together to purchase shared services and commodities. In the first year alone, they achieved significant savings for the taxpayers. 

 

Learning Objectives:

1.     Promote joint purchasing and partnering with other communities to achieve savings.

2.     Challenge others to think outside the framework of “we’ve always done it this way” to a collaborative and cost-effective approach.

3.     Discuss the keys to success, challenges and barriers to municipal partnering and how communities can overcome them.
