- Partnerships For Change® was asked to design, organize, and facilitate a National Summit for the communities that suffered during the Cold War in the United States and Russia. The National Summit brought together businesses, environmentalists, government agencies, and advocates who sought ways to clean up and re-use the closed military bases. Nobel laureates Mikhail Gorbachev and Oscar Arias keynoted the event. The event was organized in the Presidio in San Francisco, CA, during its transitioning from an Army base to a National Park.
- A 30 – minute NBC primetime television special was aired and organized by PFC in association with the National Summit, further emphasizing the shift from swords to ploughshares.
- PFC’s Andrew Michael secured a significant grant from the San Francisco Foundation to increase the capacity of the San Francisco Bay Area via an online REB, Resource Exchange Bank, for individuals, organizations and communities through out the San Francisco Bay Area to link in, exchange products, services and resources.
- United Nations held the Urban Habitat II Summit for 20,000 thought leaders around the globe on development of urban environments; Andrew Michael represented PFC at the event. While in Istanbul for the conference, he also represented the book Heart At Work for its Turkish distribution.
