Please Note—especially academy personnel: The Model for Academy Philanthropy (MAP) and consulting/training for academies in general has been thoroughly updated and revised! We followed the advice of the current MAP professionals, who came together on February 19 and 20 for discussion and planning, plus updating each other on what’s working and what to fix. Please check this out on our website! And please write me or any staff if you have comments or questions. Many thanks for Mark Lindemann and Lorena Hernandez for all their work in making this meeting successful.
