Shared Capacity Summit: Cross-Sector Approach to Health, Work & Community
May 2026
The Shared Capacity Summit held on May 1 in Baltimore brought together a powerful mix of leaders across healthcare, nonprofit, and business sectors—and K. Jennings & Associates (KJA) was in the room.
Kiisha Jennings attended the summit with a clear focus: building meaningful partnerships and identifying innovative ways to strengthen organizational capacity for small businesses and mission-driven organizations. Hosted by Durant Bailey Group as part of the Wells Fargo Fellowship powered by the Watson Institute, the event created a timely and necessary space for dialogue around sustainability, workforce alignment, and equitable access to care.
Throughout the day, conversations centered on a pressing reality—many organizations are navigating increasing demands with limited operational capacity, while highly skilled professionals remain underutilized. The summit introduced a shared capacity model as a solution, encouraging cross-sector collaboration to bridge these gaps and build stronger, more resilient communities.
Kiisha engaged deeply in sessions exploring the evolving landscape of healthcare delivery, the economic and non-clinical drivers impacting access to care, and the role of collaboration as infrastructure. The interactive Shared Capacity Lab was a standout moment, offering participants the opportunity to work through real operational challenges and propose actionable solutions.
Equally important were the connections made. KJA had the opportunity to build relationships with Angela Wells-Sims and the Durant Bailey Group, further strengthening its network of leaders committed to impact-driven work.
