  Ways for Associations to show support and encouragement - A variety of members and representatives from the associations listed in Appendix C would be included on each team since we are all members of  one or more of these associations.  Nike Corporation and research methods and other divisions of each of the academic associations would be invited to critique and comment upon each of the methods and theories before field work begins. Each association has its own by laws, so the specific type for involvement must be worked out with each one ( Appendix C presents several options for association involvement).
