Commendations on the Institute & Gary Alan Spanovich, Founder-

I am writing on behalf of Gary Spanovich. As a member of the planning committee for the 2001 conference and a co-moderator, I believe he will utilize your funding effectively and I hope that you will decide in favor of this important project to promote world peace and intercultural communication.


Mark O. Hatfield, Former US Senator From Oregon-

I am writing in support of the Wholistic Peace Institute which was formed with a focus on reducing world violence and exploring how compassion can be used in diplomatic relations. The international attention this organization has received in such a short period of time is notable.
David Wu, US House of Representatives, Oregon-

In compiling this book, Gary Alan Spanovich incorporates what I think of as fundamental human values. I believe his explanation of how spirituality can be introduced into the workplace will have compelling appeal to anyone interested in creating a more peaceful and happier world, whatever work they do.
