Gain insights from Mobile Loaves & Fishes (MLF) leaders Alan Graham (Founder/CEO), Sarah Satterlee (Senior Director of Site Operations), and Karen Yang (Director of Community First! Replication) on developing the team who will develop your site, and strategies for acquiring the land itself.

By the end of this course, learners will be able to:
  • Describe the full development journey from site identification through construction, and identify where their organization currently sits within it.
  • Understand how MLF utilized an entitlement strategy to create land value, according to a mission-enabled acquisition model. Decide whether to pursue a strategy similar to this one for your own organization.
  • Identify the professional roles needed at each phase of site development and articulate how to recruit them through vision-led relationship building.
  • Name the characteristics of a "champion" professional partner and describe practices for retaining them as the organization matures.
  • Assess their organization's readiness to engage angel, venture, and institutional investors, and begin mapping their own network accordingly.
