Abstract

The administrators of many programs, organizations, and associations often wonder if their program is functioning effectively and for the best purposes of the program's members. In this era of wireless, global communication modes and social network sites, these administrators may wonder if newer communication channels meet the needs of the members and the program.

Ultimately, the authors argue that such reflective analysis of communication channels is he
