I've had the pleasure of connecting with a new YGL Jem Bendell who is deeply involved in several topics of common interest, including alternative currencies and the future of finance. In my conversations with Jem, I've been reminded of our collective efforts last year to launch a YGL working group and possibly pilot an alternative currency within the YGL community. So, now seemed like an opportune time to introduce Jem to all of you. Jem recently did a piece for Al Jazeera titled "Money for Nothing" which you may be interested in reviewing; many more presentations, writings, etc. are available online. He will also be in Tianjin and would be keen to connect with any of you who will be there as well. (Unfortunately I won't make it to China this year.) If there are other YGLs whom you think would like to be part of this conversation, please feel free to forward this note. Jem, if anything else to add, please feel free to do so. Wishing everyone all the best wherever you are, and hope our paths cross again soon! April EFTA_R1_00286087 EFTA01876595
