The main question this article addresses is what characteristics should actors have to be recognized as prominent figures by the Csángó minority in the collaborating network of “Csángó matter”.

The results show that a small and prominent hub of the Csángó elite has a remarkable role within the collaboration network of the “Csángó matter”, and their network position correlates with the interlock organizational membership as well.
