Journal Note 1: Essential Networking Skills for Committees Human beings are social beings and therefore need to keep communicating from time to time. These communications make it easier for communities to engage in a particular discipline to address a hindering challenge. However, coordinating a large group of individuals proves to be a daunting task as many of them have conflicting responses and motivations. In response to this, committees are established to address a particular problem that arises in the community. In this journal article, I learned that neighborhood associations consistently engage in projects, activities, and events that help create a stronger network connection. The information provided in this journal shows that coordinating large numbers of individuals remains a challenge. However, a smaller group is easier to manage and has the ability to achieve better results. Kunst, Lemmink, and Prins (1998) note that the quality of a network is realized during the process of selecting network members. I noticed from the magazine that creating a successful committee comes with a set of guidelines. First, there should be a clear plan that the committee should implement. This makes it easier for the selection process to have a detailed description of all the components required in the implementation process. Breaking the project into smaller parts makes it easier for specific committees to address specific issues in the context of the identified component. Second, committee members usually volunteer to attend these meetings. Because the meetings are remarkably flexible, volunteers can have a flexible meeting schedule. Members review project delivery specifications and identify areas available to them... middle of document ......h, LC 1994, 'Mentoring and networking for women educators', Women in Management Review, vol. 9, no. 3, pp. 4.Kim, S. 2013, "Facilitators, constraints and networking dynamics: a qualitative analysis", Career Development International, vol. 18, no. 2, pp. 120-138.Kunst, P., Lemmink, J. & Prins, R. 1998, 'Quality networking initiatives in Europe: classification and conditions for success', Total Quality Management, vol. 9, no. 1, pp. 21-33.Roziah, M.R., Garavan, T.N. & Ismail, M. 2012, 'Networking and career success of managers in the Malaysian public sector', European Journal of Training and Development, vol. 36, no. 2, pp. 195-212.Scaffidi, AK & Berman, JE 2011, 'A positive postdoctoral experience is linked to quality supervision and professional mentorship, collaborations, networking, and a stimulating research environment', Higher Education, vol. 62, no. 6, pages. 685-698.
