No General would go to war without a map. Strategies leaders can use.


The Tutor/Mentor Connection (T/MC) (1993-present) and Tutor/Mentor Institute, LLC (2011-present) have created a variety of short PDF essays to illustrate how maps can be used by leaders to mobilize and distribute volunteers, dollars, technology and other resources to fight America’s war on poverty, poorly performing schools, crime and violence.

Read this this article showing our 30 years of using maps.

See column in 10-21-2015 Chicago Tribune about using maps in violence prevention strategy. Using maps this way has been a vision of Dan Bassill's since 1993. See article from 1994 ChicagoSunTimes and read blog articles that show uses of maps (see links below).

These are pdf essays that illustrate use of maps:
