Leadership
Mindfulness Connection places deep value in the trust that has been placed in us as a nonprofit. Partners trust us to listen to their unique needs as we collaborate to carry out joint projects. Nonprofit, government, and private entities trust our research, science, and ability to create programs that serve individuals and communities at large. Our donors trust us to be good stewards of their funds aimed at closing the gap between trauma and thriving communities. Mindfulness Connection is committed to best practices in governance, accountability, and transparency at all levels of the organization.
“People are seeking a social change organization to bring innovation and steadfastness to the important work of finding health solutions at a community level. Mindfulness Connection’s leadership brings decades of experience and is committed to leading a new paradigm of empowering community members to mindfully build bridges between civil society, business, and government…to thrive. The world deserves no less from us.”
