White House Chief of Staff, Joshua Bolten, and Tony Blair's Office Request Information Regarding Spiral Dynamics from Dr. Don E. Beck of Adizes Graduate School

SANTA BARBARA, Calif.--(Business Wire)--
Mr. Bolten requested details for President Bush regarding Dr.
Beck's recent high profile meetings in the Middle East. Tony Blair's
office, as the official Envoy of the Quartet on the Middle East (UN,
EU, US, Russia), called the same day (February 12th) to schedule a
meeting. A meeting with Shimon Peres, President of Israel, is being
scheduled in May.

They are interested because Spiral Dynamics presentations were
recently given for high ranking Knesset members, the Peres Center for
Peace, Al Quds University in Jerusalem, Herzlia Interdisciplinary
Center, and meetings with top business leadership in Israel who are
working together with business leaders in Palestine to create jobs and
opportunities for people on both sides.

One, Shimon Zidler, CEO of Wissotzky Tea Company, the largest in
Israel and an ISO certified producer, arranged a presentation for a
group of business leaders on January 30th at his offices.

On February 2nd, 700 leaders, both women and men of the Fatah
party, met with Dr. Beck and Elza Maalouf, CEO of The Center for Human
Emergence - Middle East, to start a nation-building movement using
Spiral Dynamics principles. The Center plans a future gathering of
200,000 Palestinians from academia, government and business,
anticipated to focus on building capacities and jobs, and to create
excellence in education and infrastructure in Palestine.

Requests for future trainings have come from Knesset members and
the Coexistence Organization Network in Israel, Department Heads at Al
Quds University, and Directors of youth organizations at Birzeit
University in Palestine. Sponsors are being sought for upcoming events
and projects.
