Title: Understanding the Open System of CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocate) Organization

*THE ORGANIZATION THAT I CHOOSE IS CASA (COURT APPOINTED SPECIAL ADVOCATE)*
Both the readings and lecture refer to organizations belonging to an open system.  I would like you to think about an organization you have either worked, volunteered, or are a member of, and then consider the following questions:
What is the organization and what does the organization do?  What the organization’s inputs, activities (transformation processes), and outputs?
What  organizations, groups, or people are affected by the organization’s activities?
What other external organizations or environmental factors (economic, political, social forces) affect your organization’s inputs, activities, and outputs? How do they affect your organization?
