Hi Mary Kay -

Welcome to ABCD in Action. You're masters program sounds fascinating... What school are you going to? Is it in the twin cities.

I would encourage you to post your question in the discussion forum- "At what point does engagement become a relationship or buy-in?" I don't know if there is existing research on this so would appreciate any assistance with where to find known resources or research on this topic and even help narrowing the question down.

I'm sure other people would be interested in discussing this with you.

Let us know if you have any questions about participating in this community. We're glad you're here!

Deb
