Mary Stroupe
The Pachamama Alliance and The Mastery Foundation
Mary Stroupe recently retired and now spends approximately 60% of her time volunteering. In 2013, she sold the electronic health record company that she and her husband co-founded for two explicit purposes: generating money to fund their commitments and bringing integrity to every aspect of their business and its relationships. She has contributed substantially to two organizations, The Pachamama Alliance and The Mastery Foundation.
The Pachamama Alliance is represented at this conference by co-founder Lynne Twist, and Pachamama Alliance’s recently formed Corporate Engagement Team, of which Mary is the steward. The team is comprised of people committed both to honoring and expanding the contribution of corporations’ doing good in the world. The Mastery Foundation serves grassroots community leaders and clergy of all faiths in areas where religion has been a source of conflict, primarily Northern Ireland and Israel.
Mary has actively participated for the past 10 years in building the Mastery Foundation School for Leadership, an international, interfaith school without walls that trains participant leaders in distinctions and practices of transformational leadership and community building. Mary lives in rural Colorado where she serves on the local hospital Foundation Board, raising money to support expanding local access to healthcare. When not volunteering, she travels, knits, weaves and plays with her husband, her horse, 3 kittens and her friends in a shared, sustainable ranching community.
