Alumni Events The Power of Money Money is an inanimate object that we created centuries ago to enable us to more effectively share our goods and services with one another. It has no power or authority other than what we assign it. Over time we have assigned it immense power and immense authority. We have created a culture of money – one which has shaped us in ways that have gone beyond our conscious processes. The Haskayne School of Business – together with the Centre for Inspired Living offered a unique event in October, 2007. Lynne Twist, Founder of the Soul of Money Institute and author of the award-winning book: The Soul of Money: Transforming your Relationship with Money and Life appeared at an exclusive dinner event to deliver her message to a crowd of more than 100 alumni and friends of Haskayne. A global activist, fundraiser and author, Lynne Twist has devoted her life to service in support of global sustainability and economic integrity. Visit her website at: www.soulofmoney.org.
