Proposals or summaries should be no more than 300 words and should include a description of the organizing model or issue to be discussed, should point to examples of it in practice to be explored in the article, and outline the strengths and weaknesses of the approach. Proposals are due no later than April 6, 1998 and should be e-mailed to: Randy Stoecker and cc’d to Harold Simon (hs@nhi.org) and Karen Ceraso (kc@nhi.org)
2. Brief (600 words) profiles from practitioners describing campaigns waged. These articles should include: (1) the name of the organization and the organizing model or approach used (2) a statement of the issue (3) a description of the tactics (4) an evaluation of the outcome.
