Management Academy gave us an opportunity to
really figure out how we can do [planning]: we could make time
if we had to, to solve a problem, develop a new plan, maybe
go after money.... It's been amazing to me how well it actually
worked.

Scholarships are available. Once your team applies, email us to inquire about financial assistance.
Academy members pay for travel costs to and from on-site training sessions (three sessions for the year, in summer, fall and spring). Members should expect to have at least one evening free during their Chapel Hill sessions.
