Purpose Statement of Trustees Without Borders

The purpose of Trustees Without Borders is to promote understanding and shared purpose among NGO nonprofit trustees (individuals and governing bodies) serving across borders of place and race and class, an international network of community-based organizations "intent on changing the world and creating a positive future." (from "Using Emergence to Take Social Innovations to Scale" by Margaret Wheatley and Debora Frieze, Copyright 2006.)
