Chris Thompson
Chris Thompson is president of Civic Collaboration Consultants, LLC. He is the author of Collaboration — a handbook published by the Fund for Our Economic Future in 2016. Before starting his collaboration consultancy, he was a director with the Fund for nine years. With the Fund, Chris expanded funder engagement and supported the launch of multiple cross-sector collaborations. Chris spent nearly 20 years as an award winning journalist before deciding to directly engage in civic change efforts. Chris lives in Northeast Ohio. He recovers from the rigors of collaboration by standing in a river waving a stick in the pursuit of trout.
