Fourteen “newbies” spent two days with six “sages” from 4 southwestern states, all for the purpose of learning what they had never learned but needed to know about the foundation world. From new grant officers to communications managers to administrative directors, this group was spirited, inquisitive, talented and very eager to create connections in their new field. By the end of the two days, the “newbies” got the fever and in some instances, roles were reversed. A reunion of the class has been scheduled for April in Austin.
