A Trip to Poland
In August of 2012, I got a message on my Facebook page inviting me to Poland to speak at two related conferences which were scheduled to take place in just six weeks. The first conference, called Konkordia III, was to be a gathering of NGOs (non-governmental organizations) for the purpose of increasing and enhancing their effectiveness and efficiency. The second gathering, called the European Forum for New Ideas (EFNI), was a much larger conference; the gathering included NGOs, private industry and business sector, and government institutions.
