Web's Board of Directors
Cindi Smith has lived in Colorado Springs for 48 years. Her background includes being a professional musician as well as a special education teacher at the elementary level. After retiring from teaching in the Harrison School District in 2004, she continued to offer her talents to the local community by playing music at various local venues. Cindi grew up with a Christian background and has been practicing meditation for the past 25 years. What drew her to Web of Connection was its all-inclusive mission. Cindi currently serves as the Vice Chair of the board of directors and is an active participant in Web’s programs, enthusiastically supporting it’s interfaith mission. She feels that “our local area is ripe for this type of a community which will focus on compassion, communication, agricultural sustainability, diversity and support for individual and communal growth.” 
Ivan Mayerhofer currently serves as Treasurer for WEB. He received his PhD in Philosophy from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor in 2010 and his Master of Arts in Teaching from Colorado College in 2014. He also ordained as a lay Dharma teacher in 2014 after completing the Maitreya Buddhist Seminary with the Buddhist Society for Compassionate Wisdom.Ivan looks to support organizations that foster awareness and development of interdependence, community, and spiritual well-being. WEB is firmly aligned with these values with an emphasis on community, including both our relationships to one another as well as the earth around us. This combination of ecological and social harmony is what excites Ivan most about the current WEB campaign. Colorado Springs has a variety of ecological projects from urban farming to local CSAs and more. But none of these groups provide the spiritual and social grounding that is a missing piece of the ecological puzzle. Ivan looks forward to work toward completing this puzzle here in Colorado Springs as part of WEB and its community projects. |
