Update on Implementation Print E-mail
Monday, 15 December 2008 16:31

As many of you know, we are now in the implementation phase of the new Governance structure, al hamdulillah! This means that we are still in transition, with the Interim (expanded) Board of Directors in place until the new One Hand One Heart Board is formed. It also means that members of the Governance Circle are working with all the existing circles, councils and boards to provide whatever kind of support is needed for them to begin moving into adopting and implementing the model in their group. 

So far this fall we have held trainings with the Board, the CSC, the Mother Center and some regional centers/communities. We are also dialoging with the University about how they can adapt the new model to their needs. We are very encouraged by the levels of commitment and effort being invested by several different communities in making the transition to the new model, as well as the good results that are starting to emerge. To request support or information for your circle or community, please email us at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

Meeting with Sidi - 9/6/08 PDF Print E-mail

The Governance Circle presented its proposal to Sidi on Saturday Sep 6, and received his blessing for it, alhamdulillah! The next step is to bring it to the Board of Directors for formal acceptance. The only part of the proposal which altered as a result of the meeting was a Council of Honest responsibility to approve all members of the councils. He said this was not necessary, as long as those members were being elected by the people.
