The Peace and Security Initiative (PSI) November 13, 2006, community-wide meeting was a great success, with over 140 organizations in attendance and with representation from a broad cross-section in our community. There was a shared sense of excitement that PSI is moving forward in coordinating strategic resources (e.g., trainings, messaging) and helping to build bridges within the peace and security community.
