Printed on 100% recycled paper. tpl.org © 2021 The Trust for Public Land Saving Places Index REPORT Message from The 1772 Foundation The 1772 Foundation and Historic Macon Foundation are at the forefront of testing a new model for community conservation. The fields of land conservation and historic preservation have been operating in discrete silos in the United States. Yet in the United Kingdom, these fields are blended into one organization that protects special places of all kinds. The broad-based support created by their blended conservation work is extraordinary. We would like to see that model more fully explored in the United States. Our three groups have been exploring blended community conservation efforts through a new framework. Using facilitated community visioning sessions and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) mapping, we are working on programs that will create integrated whole-community maps, helping citizens from all walks of life to identify and visualize high-priority areas that reflect the character of each unique community. This process is driven solely by the desires of the residents — to protect what matters to them, both land and buildings. The 1772 Foundation has provided over $16 million in funding over the past 10 years to land conservation and revolving funds. It is our goal to explore how we might combine these two efforts using citizen-driven data and holistic maps to create “revolving funds for special places.” We believe that blended conservancies based on data asset mapping are an important model to consider if we are to fully rally people behind holistic community conservation. Message from The Trust for Public Land The Trust for Public Land is pleased to release this Saving Places Index report for Macon-Bibb County. We are grateful to The 1772 Foundation for its support and to Historic Macon Foundation for its collaboration. Without these partners, this project would not have been possible. Our work extends beyond this report to include a StoryMap and a decision support tool that will serve the people of Macon for years to come. The strength of this work comes from marrying site-specific data captured by The Trust for Public Land’s Geographic Information System (GIS) team with the historical perspective provided by the community. The resulting report and decision support tool will allow civic leaders to align their goals for land acquisition and historic preservation. At The Trust for Public Land, we preserve land and create parks for people. For nearly 50 years, we have worked with community, government, and business leaders to understand how parks and public spaces can meet their needs and improve quality of life. We look forward to working with Macon in the years to come to build upon the Saving Places Index and ensure that all residents have access to a safe, quality park. Thank you again for your collaboration. ii SAVING PLACES INDEX REPORT Preface Acknowledgments Hundreds of community members helped to create the Macon Saving Places Index, from community members who participated in workshops or used the Saving Places App to local public sector and nonprofit employees who guided our mapping and community engagement as Steering Committee members. This was a collaborative effort from start to finish, and it would not have been possible without the outpouring of community support. This project was made possible through the generous support of The 1772 Foundation. The 1772 Foundation works to ensure the safe passage of our historic buildings and farmland to future generations. We are grateful for its support and vision.

Its innovative real estate tactics, state and federal tax credit consulting services, advocacy efforts with our Fading Five list of endangered places, educational programing, and low-interest loan programs allow Historic Macon to transform communities and demonstrate the powerful impact of saving historic places. HMF has completed nearly 150 houses and kept 25,000 tons of debris out of the landfill. Just since 2014 it has attracted $5.8 million in investments in its target neighborhood, Beall’s Hill.

What you’ll discover in this document is a community-driven collaboration that identifies and brings awareness of places that haven’t been recognized or received preservation input before. Did you realize you can hop on your bike downtown, ride five minutes, and be surrounded by cow pastures? Or did you know there’s berry picking in Lizella? Or consider this — how important is the view from Coleman Hill to you? Shouldn’t we consider it a place worth preserving for generations to come? Macon’s Saving Places Index (SPI) will serve as our Greenprint. In its simplest

  • Mercer University College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences Pharmacy Teaching Program 2011/2012
    Mercer University College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences Pharmacy Teaching Program 2011/2012 Background The American Society of Health-System Pharmacists (ASHP) post-graduate year one (PGY1) residency standards strongly encourage programs to offer opportunities to residents to gain experience in teaching.1 The post-graduate year two (PGY2) standards have an outcome (Outcome E1) requiring that participants demonstrate skills required to function in an academic setting.2 Several publications describe the effectiveness of teaching certificate programs offered by colleges of pharmacy.3-5 Post-graduate training programs that are at pharmacy schools typically have opportunities to gain classroom experience and receive instruction on educational methods. However, at post-graduate training programs that are not affiliated with a pharmacy school, this opportunity may not be as readily available. Many of the coordinators of pharmacy post-graduate training programs in Metro Atlanta have requested that Mercer University College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences (COPHS) provide some teaching experience for their residents. Additionally, Mercer University COPHS Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) students currently participate in many teaching-related activities. It would be ideal if their participation could be formalized and documented to help prepare them for careers in academia. Mercer University COPHS would gain teaching assistants for labs and facilitators for breakout group activities and case discussions. Mercer University COPHS students would benefit from interacting with the residents and PhD students. Training residents and PhD students in teaching will help position them for a possible career in academia. Objectives and Goals This practice-based continuing education program is based on ASHP residency standards and consists of seminars, teaching experience, precepting experience, and developing a teaching portfolio.
