2010 to 2012 Board Members
Fadhil Al-Kazily
Fadhil is an amazing speaker. He often starts his presentations by observing his roots are in Iraq and his branches are here in the United States. His perspective on the Iraq War is incredibly powerful because he explains how peace is within our reach instead of a world where his branches are attacking his roots (i.e., his American family is attacking his family in Iraq).
Dr. Linda Copeland
Linda leads Teach Peace's programs to teach peace to children. Under Linda's leadership we expect to make great advances in helping children learn about the importance of being kind, protecting the environment, and discovering alternatives to violence.

As a teacher, Mary Anne has taught peaceful conflict resolution to students
for over 30 years. During those years, she always held to the firm belief that
education was the key for forming a spiritual basis in a young person's heart
for peaceful attitudes. Since Mary Anne's retirement from teaching full-time,
she has been active in many volunteer projects. She worked for the unsheltered
homeless through an interfaith program called the Interfaith Homeless Task
Force. In addition, Mary Anne is a key leader on the St. James Gospel Justice
Peace Group. Presently, Mary Anne teaches art to Plainfield Elementary students
on a grant funded by the Rumsey tribe. One of the highlights of Mary Anne's life
happened this year when she went on a peace building trip to Mission Honduras,
an orphanage and school complex for children and mothers in need.
