I am delighted to officially announce that B. Alan Wallace has accepted my request to join the board of the Australian Institute for Consciousness Studies. Alan, as you may well know, is a dynamic lecturer, scholar, and one of the most prolific writers of Tibetan Buddhism in the West. Alan continually seeks innovative ways to integrate Buddhist contemplative practices with Western science and was the genesis behind AICS.

I want to thank Alan for his open and warm approach to the Buddhadharma and for believing in me.
