"Fearlessness is a gift but, perhaps, more precious is the courage that comes from endeavour; courage that comes from refusing to allow fear dictate one's actions"
(Aung San Suu Kyi - Burmese politician)
Ahead of the Global Conscience 4 th Annual General Meeting (AGM) scheduled for December 13, 2008 , GCI is soliciting your assistance to nominate members to the Board of Directors.
The Board of Directors serves as the policy making body of GCI. The election of the Director is based on outstanding qualifications, unselfish dedication, and a willingness to promote a culture of democracy, human rights, the rule of law and access to justice in Cameroon and beyond.
Each Director serves as a leader in motivating support for established policy, serves to develop new policy, and serves to obtain support for GCI's programs.
