In promoting a weekly Featured Peacebuilding Group, I sometimes like to focus on groups in my own Montgomery County, Maryland community that are doing good work. The International Cultural Center (ICC), this week’s group, is based in Montgomery Village, MD. It was established in 2011 by WORDE, it’s parent group, to provide a center where people of diverse backgrounds can come together to engage in community building and social action projects. It has a special mission to the Muslim and interfaith communities.
I am a career coach, consultant, and head of a not for profit - the Forage Center - that offers humanitarian education training. I also teach at George Mason University and Drexel University. A one time lawyer, I spent many years teaching in a community college where I was a Fulbright U.S. Scholar teaching in Estonia. I'm the author of Peace Jobs: A Student's Guide to Starting a Career Working for Peace (IAP 2016). I've been married to my best friend for over 31 years and we have two well adjusted adult children who teach me something new everyday. I live in Rockville, Maryland.
