<br></div>I have attended several of Paul's workshops and speak from personal experience when I say his trainings are trans-formative. It's not just about learning skills, it's also about character development. Peace skills are life skills. What kind of a world do we want to live in and how to live accordingly?<br>
<br></div>I'm not a natural-born activist. And, I don't come from a peaceful upbringing. My education at Greenfield Community College through the guidance of Abbie Jenks helped blow my mind wide open to social and environmental justice issues. But, it's been my trainings with Paul (and reading of his books) that have helped me connect the dots, so to speak, with the importance of doing the 'inside' work in order to the 'outside' work. <br>
<br></div>Let's face it, this world deals out a lot of disappointment and heartbreak. It can feel like the deck is stacked against you (truth is, it IS!) This kind of training helps one learn to deal with the uphill battles, whether it be personal, at work, at home, in a protest, or within groups and organizing meetings. It's not 'if' conflict will arise, it's when and how one chooses to deal with it that matters.<br>
<br></div>Please help us get the word out with this final push! I get that there's a lot of other events and things going on and it's hard to get heard through the clutter. But, take the time to really check this out and check out Paul's website at <a href="http://www.paulkchappell.com/" target="_blank">www.paulkchappell.com</a> to see what he's all about. It's worth your time and effort.<br>
<br></div>And, let's make an extra effort to get the word out to younger people and those new to organizing and activism. This would be especially beneficial to them.<br><br></div>Much Thanks,<br><br></div>Mary McCarthy<br>

Chappell’s Leadership Training
program teaches the skills needed to resolve small and large-scale conflicts,
create global change, and further the causes of peace and justice.<span> </span>Participants will acquire skills that promote
progress and positive change in communities, countries, and the world. Chappell’s
emphasis is on the form of leadership that Gandhi, Martin Luther King Jr., and
Susan B. Anthony practiced. Chappell graduated from West Point in 2002, was
deployed as a Captain to Baghdad, and served in the army for seven years in
numerous leadership positions. Chappell, who currently serves as Peace
Leadership Director of the Nuclear Age Peace Foundation (<a href="http://www.wagingpeace.com/" target="_blank">www.wagingpeace.com</a>)
has found that much of his West Point training can be applied to peace, human
rights, conflict resolution, and global change. Peace leadership skills are
also life skills; participants not only gain an understanding of how to resolve
conflict and wage peace in a global sense, but also in their communities,
families, and personal lives. </span></p><p style="margin-top:9pt;text-align:center;line-height:12pt" align="center"><b><span style="font-size:14pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">CONTENT</span></b></p><p style="margin-top:6pt;line-height:11pt;text-align:left"><b><span style="font-size:9pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">Friday 9:30 AM</span></b></p><p style="line-height:11pt;text-align:left"><b><span style="font-size:9pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">Registration
