We are so pleased to hear about the valuable lessons you have learned from the Management Academy for Public Health retreats. Several of the current participants mentioned improved Communication Skills, learning to Negotiate, mastering Finance Skills and the information received from their 360 Assessment.
One aspect that was consistently noted was that this entire 9-month program is a long learning process to reach your goal of creating a business plan that successfully addresses a community need. The Management Academy staff continues to be impressed by how much work is put towards creating the plan and then later working to get it implemented. Most teams are now meeting in person each week or every other week, in addition to conference calls and email exchanges. Earlier today, we received an email from a team that completed the Management Academy several years ago; their plan is being implemented now in its entirety. More information to come!
It is also great to see that you are using the teambuilding skills presented by Triangle Training as you continue to work with individuals who may have a style different from your own. Don't forget some of the valuable lessons about communicating openly and honestly, working together, setting goals and not giving up. As mentioned by our colleague, Carolyn, - "We have many challenges ahead", but I would like to add that the "Best is yet to come". Thinking of the best is yet to come, the current Management Academy participants will participate in several upcoming webinars about the book: Public Health Business Planning..............As you continue to read chapter by chapter, please feel free to share your thoughts here.

Monecia;
I have to say, attending MAPH last year was a wonderful experience. I learned a great deal and am so thankful that I was able to be a part of such an outstanding cohort and faculty.
Our business plan was completed prior to the publication of the book; however, I have been able to review it and feel that it will definitely be a benefit to all those who use it. This tool will serve as a great resource for our future business planning projects as well. Great Job!
Keep up all of the wonderful work you and your team are doing.

It is great to hear from another one of our North Carolina alumni. As you mentioned, the book will be a great resource for future business planning projects and I know that your county health department is probably already hard at work gathering ideas and a team for next year. Please note that the Management Academy application process will open soon.
Greetings from Wilmington, NC!
I graduated from MAPH in 2002, and I've never regretted the time I spent as a part of the cohort and my team. We developed a lot of new skills and how to be life-long learners.
It's a great experience that I would encourage others to participate in. I'm very glad that there is an alumni branch that has begun, so we can continue to fine tune all that we learned.
I look forward to being a part of this community.
Take care, Jean McNeil
