During the nine-month program, participants will have the opportunity to provide leadership on a critical Atlanta regional issue through a mini Technical Assistance Panel (mTAP). Working in teams, participants will be responsible for sharing their expertise and advice to develop recommendations for a sponsor organization.
The parcel assessment tool that the mTAP group developed for the Atlanta Land Trust will help us make critical land acquisition decisions and support our fundraising efforts. We were blown away by the caliber and diversity of the group members, their thoughtful approach and the quality of the final work product. As a nonprofit with limited resources, this work fills a critical gap for our organization and helps propel us toward fulfilling our mission.
