C
onsumer engagement
comes in many forms,
sometimes through
chance encounters.
Through one such encounter
a street vendor and an
association leader form a rela-
tionship, listen to one another,
and advance each other’s
understanding of how our
field is serving those who
come through our doors—and
how our services might evolve
for even greater impact.
