The interfacing of constituencies

Within a public human service organization interaction occurs among diverse constituencies such as clients, donors, and professionals. Several recent trends affecting relationships among constituencies are identified and problems emerging from these trends are considered. Since various changes within human service organizations have occurred during the 1960s and early to mid-1970s, one may speculate about future developments which may result from these trends. It is suggested that each constituency must adapt to changing circumstances in a spirit of cooperation if the organization is to be effective.
