He served as executive director of several complex NGOs for more than twenty-three years, including a large, multifaceted center at Cornell University (the Center for Religion, Ethics and Social Policy), a regional land conservancy (Finger Lakes Land Trust), and the International Secretariat of the Global Ecovillage Network based in Denmark (www.gaia.org). He was awarded a Senior Fulbright Fellowship for the year of 1997 to coordinate the citizen conflict resolution program of the Fulbright Commission, working with Turkish and Greek communities in the divided island of Cyprus. Among of the most prominent contributions of Dr. Snyder was a series of workshops about sustainability and the environment with teenagers from both sides of the [[Green Line]]. Philip combines a background in all facets of organizational and program development together with ongoing research and works in sustainable development, environmental regeneration, and the human relationship with landscape. | |||
