Board of Directors

The NewStories Board is responsible for organizational health and wholeness. Board members work with the Core Team to co-create organizational priorities and to bring in new partners and funders. The Board has fiduciary responsibility for NewStories.

Social Field

NewStories exists through the company it keeps—deeply connected, often for decades, to inspiring individuals from around the world. The work embodies a planetary consciousness moving toward regeneration and wholeness, including those regarded as ancestors of this shift.

In Memoriam

Over the years NewStories has enjoyed the strong support and kinship with people who have left this life. As people who have inspired NewStories profoundly, they continue to influence the work as ancestors.
