Event: Nicole Foss in Coffs Harbour
Date: 11th February 2012
Time: 12noon to 2.30pm
Location: Cavanbah Centre, Harbour Drive

Nicole Foss is a polymath who ties together observations of economics, society and the environment so we can better understand our present financial predicament. She is academically well qualified, with a degree in biology, neuroscience and psychology and a later degree in international law.
 
Nicole's formidable powers of analysis gives us the background we need to make plans at an individual, business and community level to deal with the period of transition we are now entering, where the old policies being promoted by our leaders are no longer working and we need to re-vision our future.
