Open Seat Matching Program (OSMP)
"I attended Applied Strategic Planning in November. The content was current, timely and excellently presented. The use of case studies, simulations and lectures provided a variety of useful tools for application to our planning activities currently in process. I would highly recommend participation in one of the offerings in the Open Seat Matching Series."
-Alice B. Cunningham, executive director, Hi Hope Service Center
