What is the Founder's Corner?​​

After 30 years of leading Peace First, our Co-CEO and co-founder is stepping down from his role to make room for a new wave of leadership to take the organization into its new phase of growth, impact and development.

This section of the Peace First website is not just dedicated to him and his legacy, but to the legacy and contributions of a vast community of founders, supporters and peers who helped make the organization what it is today. We could never be able to honor Eric and his tremendous contributions to Peace First without honoring them too.

We hope that this page will serve as an invaluable resource for Peace First’s institutional memory, and a keepsake for our new leaders and those who will one day follow in their footsteps.
