Loretta welcomes David Wick who has been a devoted peacebuilder since 1978, with a remarkable career spanning over four decades. In 1974, he founded Youth Services in Santa Cruz and Watsonville, California, starting with a small team and a $17,000 budget. He grew it into a thriving multimillion-dollar center still active today. This experience inspired his contribution to “The Origins of Neuro Linguistic Programming.” In 1983, David co-launched Pathways To Peace (PTP), a UN-designated Peace Messenger NGO, instrumental in the UN’s 1981 International Day of Peace resolution. Since 1984, he has led Peace Day celebrations and now serves as a PTP Director. He founded the Peace Within Organizations program at Stanford University in 1985 and co-founded Peace Building Through Business in 1995, contributing to a global think tank on business’s future role. Today, David leads the Culture of Peace Initiative (CPI), with PTP as its Secretariat, inspiring individuals and communities worldwide to build peace from the inside out.
