Return to Macrocosm USA Home Page

These were the results of a questionaire that has been circulating since the Spring of 1993. We do not expect that all these people will be able to fulfill their initial promises -- but as this project evolves and becomes more reality than vision the word will pass faster and faster to those who need to hear it. We do need people who see the potential in this list, the vision, and the pragmatic organizational skills necessary to make this dream a reality. Join the Forum to Participate in the Shaping of the Proposal and Plans HERE.

These members of Macrocosm USA were asked the following questions for which the responses are entered below with their names, and addresses, if available:

In what capacity would you like to participate?

Are you interested in being on the Board of Advisors or Directors?

What other way would you want to contribute or participate?
