Founders

Everything is built by someone who believed it should be.

The first phase of Emerging Terrain was built by many dedicated board members, design fellows, and funders who believed in the mission. Through these people’s gifts, Emerging Terrain has significantly contributed to the proactive practice movement. Thank you founders.
