The Hayden-Harman Foundation Selects
1000 Cranes Business Consulting

Durham, NC (February 7, 2006) - 1000 Cranes Business Consulting will assist the Hayden-Harman Foundation by leading a strategic retreat session in March 2006. "The Harden-Harman Foundation requires a facilitator to lead a strategic session with the Alamance County's 'Close the Achievement Gap' Committee," Patrick Harman explains. "As a group of concerned citizens working with the school district on ways to reduce the achievement gap between minority and majority students, the Gap Committee is working toward other means to build upon our succesful Minority Achievement Celebration. 1000 Cranes Business Consulting was a clear choice to assist us with this effort as Naomi Takeuchi has both the necessary expertise in strategic planning and experience working with nonprofit organizations."
