Hare Krishna,
Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
I’m writing to you about the GBC strategic planning work and how you can help. Strategic planning is about looking toward the future, and that’s a service that requires help from many devotees with all kinds of skills.
The GBC began its strategic planning work to help ISKCON grow into a healthy, sustainable, world-class organization. If you wish to see ISKCON as a global community with high standards of excellence in every area of its endeavors, please read on.
Srila Prabhupada wanted the GBC to lead ISKCON through good governance and to establish global policies. He wanted an expansive, thriving movement that served both the public and those who accepted its shelter.
For the past eight years, the GBC Strategic Planning Team (SPT) has been helping the GBC explore the ways in which ISKCON needs to grow into the vibrant movement Srila Prabhupada wanted it to be. We all know there’s a lot of work that needs to be done to achieve Srila Prabhupada’s desire. Working together, the SPT and GBC created a “Strategic Planning Network,” a group of devotees with various types of experience and expertise to help expand on the key areas of the GBC’s strategic plan. These devotees are dedicated to creating positive and progressive change in ISKCON.
But they need help. The SPT is now looking for devotees with experience in project management, book production, web design, the ability to take ideas and develop them into publishable projects, graphics, research, database creation and maintenance, writing, editing, and marketing.
This group will take the work of the Strategic Planning Network and produce it in whatever way suits the project – and then help get it into the hands of devotees who can use it.

Is this you? We’d love to hear from you. Contact information is at the end of this letter.
If these aren’t your skills but you know others who have them, please pass the attached letter on to them. They say there are no more than “six pixels of separation” between us in the orbit of our movement. Please help us find the devotees we’re looking for by forwarding this email to everyone in your address book and posting it on your facebook or other social media page. Thanks for your help with this.
We look forward to hearing from you soon: kaisori@gmail.com
