NECR Webinar: Taking Conflict Resolution to Scale

John Marks, the founder and longtime president of Search for Common Ground, will speak about how he and his wife, Susan Collin Marks, used the methodology of social entrepreneurship to create the world’s largest peacebuilding organization—with a staff of 600 and offices in 35 countries—and earned a nomination for a Nobel Peace Prize in 2018. Included in the presentation will be a short video demonstrating how a flexible, opportunistic approach led to breakthroughs in resolving conflict on a societal level and producing media for social change in such places as the Soviet Union, Iran, Burundi, and the Democratic Republic of Congo. John is the author of a new book called From Vision to Action: Remaking the World Through Social Entrepreneurship.

The Zoom link will be distributed to all registrants 24 hours in advance of the webinar.
