This case study describes the establishment and operation of a community-based health promotion consortium. The ethical implications of membership criteria, use of mailing lists, public education and policy, and communications are examined. The organization's responses to questions raised in these areas are discussed. Increased com munication and sharing of ideas and experiences among health promotion consortia are recommended. Issues in the activities of health promotion consortia which require further philosophical and sociological examination are identified.
