Badrinarayan Swami, a veteran GBC member and a member of the SPN’s Organizational Development Committee and Lines of Authority Committee explains why the GBC is investing so much time and energy in planning for ISKCON’s future.
Sesa Prabhu, a GBC member and a member of two SPN committees, Education and Constitution, speaks on Srila Prabhupada being the first strategic thinker among us, his vision for education being an example that illustrates this. That vision covers all aspects of our Society, and if we follow it, it will solidify both ISKCON’s present and its future.
Kaunteya Prabhu, a key member of both the GBC Strategic Planning Team (SPT) and the SPN’s Organizational Development Committee, gives us a glimpse into the history of how ISKCON looked, globally, when Srila Prabhupada first established the GBC in 1970, and how that has translated into zones of service for each GBC member. He explains what these zones of responsibility look like today as ISKCON has grown, and how the GBC is addressing the pressing need to redefine these zonal areas to insure more effective management, leadership, and devotee care into the future.
