The Quo Vadis Project
The Quo Vadis Project was undertaken at the direction of the LSAA President to address the future of the LSAA and how to focus its efforts to best manifest the mission, spirit and motto of the School. A 10-member Working Group worked for a year, addressing 34 separate proposals and recommending 14 which were also approved by the Board of Directors and are now being implemented. Significant archival documents associated with the project to include its current status are provided below.
