Voluntary Spirit and Engagism

Thank you to my friend Alan Rosenblatt for giving me this link to a great article on how associations and community groups can use the Internet to engage their citizens

One of my favorite points "People belong to these cyber-organizations not by virtue of having sent dues or donations but, rather, through their active participation . . . Participants do do not take direction from the cyber-organization. Rather, they are the cyber-organization."

Sounds like engagism to me!
