UNDERSTANDING SOCIAL NETWORKS
“Organiza(ons don’t have to create… social networks; they exist all around us in a variety of forms. Networked Nonprofits strengthen and expand these networks by building rela(onships within them to engage and ac(vate them for their
organiza(ons’ efforts.”
(Fine and Kanter, 2010)
