The VAD Academy – short for Vacant, Abandoned, and Deteriorated Properties Training Academy – is a two-day “boot camp” for public, private, nonprofit, and community leaders working on these tough property challenges. Whether your community is just starting to develop a strategy to tackle its vacant, abandoned, and deteriorated properties, or is looking to strengthen longstanding efforts, the VAD Academy is designed to help. Our first academy will take place in Indianapolis, Indiana, on May 31 - June 1, 2017. Register today to reserve your space before the May 17, 2017, registration deadline, as the academy is expected to sell out!
