Hi,
i am a graduate student in Public Health and i am in Community 
Organizing class and doing a project in this class. One of the 
assignments in this class asked specifically about the structural or 
functional differences between the "coalitions and partnerships and 
their role in community organizing". I couldn't find any source which 
specifically  differentiates these two, hence i thought you people might 
be of some help. Reason being i always visit this discussion thread and 
found some useful stuff over here for my class.

Thank you in advance.
kevboy.
