In this episode of The JCast Journey, host Darone Ruskay thinks a bit about the differences between local organizations, national organizations and “Umbrella organizations”. Darone considers the ways that umbrella organizations have a more difficult time figuring out their mission as their constituencies are so emorphous.
What do you think? Do you think that there is a role for umbrella organizations? How do you think that they can best be significant and reach the “people”.
