Networking is the building block to maximize the successes of a nonprofit organization. The strength of a network is built upon the development of personal and extended relationships to the nonprofit. The greater the network the more likely the skill set of the network will be able to deliver the outcome desired. A network should be viewed as a tool to create a competitive edge. Building a network takes time and effort. Results should not expected to be immediate. To maximize the networks value to those participating make sure that the following components are answered:
What useful information are you providing?
What consistent message is being conveyed?
What are you offering to the network of contacts that can viewed as help or a service?
