FROM THE FIELD TO THE BOARD ROOM
I'm thrilled to announce that Karen Vander Linde has been unanimously elected to join the Bpeace Board of Directors.
As a member and advisor since 2010, Karen embodies the essence of Bpeace. She facilitated the deciding conversation to launch in El Salvador. She went on our first expedition to Guatemala and helped us open up our activities there. She is bringing the concepts of innovation and KPIs to life with our Fast Runners, and has graciously hosted Fast Runners in her Maryland home.
Karen's hands-on experience will bring a unique perspective to Board discussions and decisions, which will, in turn, benefit the entire Bpeace organization. Please join me in congratulating her.
