Contributor Bio(s): Del Tufo, Theresa: - Dr. Theresa del Tufo Dr. Theresa del Tufo is a community leader, an educator, an organizational consultant, and a technical and motivational writer. She is currently the CEO, principal consultant, and researcher at Del Tufo Consulting, LLC, and is the Assistant Director for an organization serving people with disabilities. Her recent book, The Fullness of Nothing: Discover the Hidden Joy that Surrounds You (2015), profiled the lives of people with disabilities, who have managed to lead successful and happy lives despite the daily challenges in their lives. She is the author of the book SoloPower: How to Harness the Secret Energy of Living Alone (2014) that explored the happiness, challenges and transition stages of solo living. She is also the co-author of a technical publication on organizational excellence, The Measure of Library Excellence Linking the Malcolm Baldrige Criteria and the Balanced Scorecard to Assess Service Quality (2008). Tes is a first generation immigrant from the Philippines. As a child, she survived the ravages of war during the Japanese occupation of the country. Her family had to escape to the mountains since her father was wanted for publishing anti-Japanese propaganda. As a young bride and immigrant, she had no family to support her after the untimely death of her husband. As a single parent, she raised two young sons and put them through college, while working on her doctoral degree and holding a full time job. Out of the struggle, darkness, and loss in her earlier life emerged strength of character, light, and a deeper appreciation of the inherent goodness of life. In March of 2009, Tes was inducted into the Hall of Fame of Delaware Women by Governor Jack Markell. The award is the most prestigious recognition bestowed on Delaware women for lifetime achievement and outstanding accomplishments. She is the recipient of many other awards, including an Outstanding Service Award from the Developmental Disability Council and the Women's Vocational Services. She was also recognized in 2009 and 2012 as one of the Top 100 Business Entrepreneurs in Delaware, Virginia, Maryland and the District of Columbia.Banez, George: - Dr. George Banez A free spirit residing in a body that loves to learn through travel, he now enjoys a "quiet" life in Florida writing about his adventures. He grew up in the Philippines and attended graduate school in Japan learning ways to best conserve forests through the science of Silviculture and Ecophysiology. But as an advocate, he knew that people came first. He trained in policy and environmental economics in Denmark, long before the concept became popular. The one constant, however, was his commitment to non-profit and academic development. Having managed international programs at Botanical Gardens and Museums in the US, he educated students, and visitors of all ages and cultural backgrounds, in environmental science, history and also in art and scientific research. He continues to write curricula, educational materials, and scientific reports as he engages and manages action-research projects in tropical Philippines while giving advice to non-profits in the US and the rest of the world. |
