Tim Grass has served as the facilitator for LOI since 2016, organising important consultations in Addis Ababa, Cambridge UK, and Boston USA. Last year he indicated that he wanted to stand down so that he can do more writing. Following a transition, Ralph Lee has taken over the role and will be finalising the arrangements for the Salzburg consultation in June and the and later events. Ralph has been part of the LOI fellowship since the second Albania consultation. If you need to get in touch, the email is still the same.

We all wish Tim well in the coming year, and look forward to his continued involvement in LOI.
