Press
Release: The Exopolitics Institute introduces "Inside the Boardroom"
online
[Kona,
Hawaii, July 11, 2005] Aloha all, on July 4th, 2005 the historical
launch of the Exopolitics Institute anchored our presence and goals
into the public awareness as a beacon promoting cooperation and transparency
about extraterrestrial affairs. Now the Institute invites you to take
a closer look at our organization by meeting our Board of Advisors.
This is a courageous and pioneering group of men and women whose dedication,
sacrifices and vision all uphold the right of the public to know the
truths that exopolitical research and activism reveals.
Exopolitics
is the revolutionary new field which studies and informs the general
public about the political implications of the extraterrestrial presence,
a vast presence which is supported by an enormous volume of credible
evidence and reliable testimony. The Institute supports and promotes
the right of the people to demand transparent governmental accountability
on this vital issue, which is affecting all our lives in diverse ways
that are being withheld from public scrutiny.
The
Exopolitics Institute is member driven, and this is why its next step
forward will be to place itself as an active example of an organization
based upon transparency and accountability to all its membership.
As a new type of role model, the Institute will make all email correspondences
between the Board of Directors and the Advisory Board members into
an open online forum, "Inside the Boardroom," for all members
to view. Everyone who wishes to be informed firsthand of the latest
Institute discussions, debates and unfolding plans will be able to
survey current events as they unfold. This will be very exciting and
educational for all of us, while encouraging nothing less than our
best with unwavering consistence.
Some
of the finest people, whose careers speak for themselves, will be
devoting their time and energy to bring about the Institute¹s
goals, but everyone¹s help is needed to join together in common
vision for success to be achieved. Resources have been nearly nonexistent
for those brave individuals who have worked tirelessly to make headway
in this field and bring information to the public attention. This
is where the Exopolitics Institute can help by funding the projects
and qualified people that ensure quality and honest information. Also
by supporting the projects of those scholars and professionals who
offer new perspectives on how to flourish within our changing reality
as full disclosure of the extraterrestrial presence occurs.
Our
launch last week has been very promising and we would like to thank
and welcome all our new members aboard, as well as express our gratitude
to all those people who sent thoughtful emails of encouragement and
support. Proudly, the Exopolitics Institute now presents the members
of our Advisory Board and invites everyone to visit us online at:
