ABSTRACT
Networking is an interpersonal operation. Struggling and organizing among and on behalf of people is an emotional process. The anger, disappointment, and frustration of rebuff, the jealousy and competitiveness driven by funding allocations, and the soul-searching that accompanies surrender to the group purpose are examples … Yet, opening a new community shelter, developing a needed outreach program, or signing a written agreement to expedite referrals of suicidal adolescents are the tangible rewards for the effort.
