Regarding Susan Wegmann's proposal for a 1999 AAM session dealing with collaborative grants planning, I have to say that from a funder's point of view, this is a GREAT IDEA!!! It's amazingly easy to spot a proposal where development did all the thinking/writing and program folks were not involved and vice versa. Once funded, you can see how this kind of proposal never quite coalesces into an effective program. Maria Munoz-Blanco, Assistant Director Fulton County Arts Council [log in to unmask]
