Abstract:

Effecting the most complicated nonprofit merger in American history required the best use of volunteer and professional leadership throughout North America, and its success will depend upon continuing that best use. Now that the unified entity is owned by the federations, accountability and responsibility go together with a single group of constituents who can expect added value from a national system.
