Using technology to build community in professional associations.
Professional associations increasingly rely on technology to convene members in the conduct of their business. Principles of adult education can be employed to facilitate the transition to the use of innovative technology. Such innovation can facilitate an association's work in advancing policy and professional practice. Understanding generational differences can enhance the development of community and build social capital in associations.
