==Member Involvement and Outside Help==

Individuals, organizations, and facilities that are connected directly to your organization can be considered inside resources. Outside resources are not actually formally part of your organization but can provide benefits, perhaps on a per-project basis, as a complement to core staff inside your organization. Closely related to mentors and volunteers, these individuals can provide expertise directly to your organization, from within or as "consultants."

Inside and/or outside resources may include a physician or nurse who cares for individuals with your condition. They may include a relative who works in a biotechnology company or for a law firm. They could even include a neighbor who works for an insurance broker and, for example, can help families understand how to appeal insurance decisions.

For both inside and outside resources, ask:

*What are your medical resources, such as interested clinicians?
*What are your scientific resources, such as individuals involved in research or with a science background?
*What are your financial resources, such as individuals with fundraising or accounting experience?
*What are your administrative resources, such as individuals with management, office, computer experience, or non-clinical experience in health care settings?
*What individuals or companies can make in-kind donations?
*What are your "support for affected individuals" resources, such as individuals with genetic counseling, nursing or support-group experience?
