Keeping the network engaged

Just like the weather or your favourite sports team, a peer network can go through highs and lows.  We can hope there are as many highs as possible, but there can also be times when a peer network loses its momentum and energy.  When this happens, don't despair, because there are things you can do that can either help a peer network come to a successful end, or re-ignite its passion.

The QuickGuides listed in the index to the left can help you think this through.
