JGA introduces new Web site

On January 7, 2009, JGA launched a new Web site. The updated site features a fresh look and improved user navigation. It was designed to provide visitors with easy access to information about the firm, staff, service offerings, and the latest firm news. A highlight of the new site is the inclusion of case studies, which offer real examples of the impact JGA and its clients have made. This portion of the site will be dynamic, with new case studies added monthly. In 2009, the site will also include an extensive resources section aimed at linking nonprofits with helpful tips, tools, and information from a variety of sources.

Notes for the Reflective Practitioner

JGA is proud to continue publication of Paul Pribbenow’s, “Notes for the Reflective Practitioner” article series throughout 2009.  His articles will be published bi-monthly to the Resources section of the JGA Web site. Paul is President of Augsburg College in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

Due to technical complications, a number of Paul’s 2008 articles were not previously published on the JGA Web site. However, all of the 2008 “Notes for the Reflective Practitioner” are now available for viewing. We encourage our visitors to visit the Resources pages to read these enlightening articles.

JGA wishes to extend its thanks to Paul for providing us and our site’s visitors with these valuable resources.
