Advisory Committee Members |
| The Global Sufficiency Network was formed on November 23, 2008 when five committed people decided to create a portal to spread the message and practice of sufficiency. These five carriers of the message of sufficiency quickly enrolled others to serve on the founding Advisory Committee of the Global Sufficiency Network.
The Advisory Committee is composed of people who are firmly committed to leading lives that model a deep knowing that we have enough, we do enough, and we are enough just as we are.
Each Advisor is distinguished in his/her professional and personal application of principles in such key resources as The Soul of Money, by Lynne Twist and Getting Your Financial Blackbelt by Les Traband. We are collectively committed to the mission, vision, and promise of this emerging global network.
The Advisory Committee hopes you will join us in this exciting journey!
