Hello
I found this list describing differences between communication and engagement in a book by Kathy Gardner Chadwick entitled Improving Schools Through Community Engagement. It is simple yet relevant to our work.
Sorry, I couldn't get the columns to line up on the blog.

Rosemary,
I've been meaning to ask...do you have this book by Kathy Chadwick? If so, I'd be interested in taking a look at it.
