About Us
 

Who We Are

 

We are staff members, full and part-time, who care for the land, the facilities, the programs, and the promoting of a fuller understanding of our interdependent world. We are a deeply dedicated band of Board Directors who have stepped up to the challenge of providing support and leadership for this effort. We are a visionary crew of Advisors scattered across the world who remind us that we all share a common hope and purpose. And we are dozens and dozens of committed volunteers from many different backgrounds. Such friends and colleagues are essential to the flourishing of the Institute.
