Welcome to the UP Forum & Meeting Place! I would like to thank all the volunteers in the United Planet community for their dedication and belief in the UP mission. United Planet represents a tremendous team effort with members all around the world in over 80 countries working together to build greater understanding and friendship among cultures.
United Planet is proof that people of diverse backgrounds all over the world can come together in a global volunteer team, transcend boundaries, and reach for and achieve goals important to us all. I feel so fortunate to be a part of this effort and to work so closely with many of you.
The UP Forum and Meeting Place provides a tremendous opportunity for us to share our cultures, brainstorm new ideas, and forge new enriching relationship with others within our local communities and around the world.
I look forward to meeting many of you online and enjoying this great global learning experience together. I encourage all of you to share generously on the boards. We have much to learn from each other.
I would like to extend a special thanks to Vanessa and Bernard for working tirelessly on these boards and even staying up all night brainstorming and writing in Ireland to help get them done! I must also give my deepest thanks to Lin, our webmaster, for working so closely with me since the beginning with great enthusiasm and commitment. Many thanks to Kelley and all the Country Coordinators and Regional Directors on the VOE team for all your amazing work! Thanks to Sadia and the marketing team for your work around the world. This list should go on for pages. Thanks to the board members, translators, programmers, designers, consultants, writers, teachers, students, friends, family, contest judges, volunteer presenters, VOE contributors, partners?Thanks to you all.
As our board member, Ron D'Vari said, "It takes lots of ideas to make one good idea!" Please recognize how important your ideas are to UP. Let's stick together and achieve our true potential as a community beyond borders.
