Who We Are

Our organization consists of Guiding Teachers, the Board of Directors, the Organizing Committee,  the Advisors to TNI and a network of volunteers.

Our 3-person Organizing Committee takes care of the daily running of the organization. Our Board of Directors meets with the Organizing Committee four times a year to make recommendations on program direction, approve financial decisions, and lend overall guidance and support. Currently there are ten members of the board, and we welcome any expression of interest in serving on the board. Our Advisory Committee is made up of meditation teachers from the US and Canada.  Everyone involved with guiding and administrating TNI has experience with the practice and benefits of insight meditation. 

Our volunteers are the generous and gifted foundation of all TNI efforts. Graphic designers have created TNI’s promotional posters and brochures and designed the website.  Translators volunteer their time to make our website content and all promotional documents bilingual.  We have also had several professional fundraisers give us feedback and guidance.  In addition, a large number of volunteers in Ottawa, Montreal, Toronto and other cities and towns contribute their time and skills to accomplish many of the daily important tasks in support of the vitality of our organization.
