What's New?

The chair and vice chair of Minnesota Land Trust, a nonprofit that preserves Minnesota's natural and scenic heritage through public and private partnerships, said the following about the recent project that Duckor & Associates completed:

"Minnesota Land Trust decided to use a transition in our leadership and the challenging economic environment of 2009 as the opportunity to evaluate our strategic plan. We couldn't have found a better partner than Anita S. Duckor, President, Duckor & Associates. She created a planning process that fit our culture, she engaged our internal and external partners in substantive ways, and she helped us think about our organization and our opportunities in an entirely new and provocative light. Most importantly, she guided us to the creation of a strategic plan that has earned the trust and buy-in of all our stakeholders. We already are seeing the positive results of a strategic plan that exists in our hearts and minds, not just in a written document."
