"Nurturing Human Enterprise Requires Strategic Partnering."
Nurturing human potential for the 21st century invites unprecedented forms of fresh thinking, conscious stewardship of multi dimensioned gifts, barrier-breaking creativity, boundless courage, all or nothing risk – an ‘all hands on deck’ approach to aggressive treatment of our most oppressive problems while cultivating heretofore unimaginably beautiful possibilities. Langford prefers a partnership model in this endeavor.
“For many years, Carol has provided effective and imaginative support to the peace-building mission of Search for Common Ground, from traveling with top leaders and donors to visit our program in Sierra Leone, to arranging for private philanthropic funds to support our global programs, to introducing Search to one of New York’s most influential organizations and its leaders, to coaching Search’s executives in leadership communication. Her commitment to a partnership model of effecting change is deeply rooted in her years of experience and studied learning. Search has greatly benefited from it.”
