Intentionally Designed Endowment – Resources & Events
By Georges Dyer
Since the Intentionally Designed Endowment meeting, April 3-4 in Cambridge, MA, participants have been sharing additional resources with the organizers, which we have compiled below to share with the rest of the ACUPCC network.
Please continue to send resources to Michele Madia (mmadia@secondnature.org) you think will be of value to your colleagues, and we will disseminate them periodically while we develop more robust online resources and communication channels.
