Biography

Dan Bena, former Head of Sustainable Development and Corporate Water Steward for PepsiCo and current board member of the United Nations Association, Westchester"Dr. Feldman brought her extensive working experience to improve understanding between people from different cultural backgrounds and to help bring peace to the world in her new book Building Communities of Trust. Her radio program shared my music and life story with audiences around the world."
Chen Yi, Distinguished Endowed Professor in Music Composition, University of Missouri-Kansas City Conservatory"It’s one thing to want to change the world for the better. It’s quite another to figure out how to go about doing that and avoid the inevitable obstacles to achieving one’s goals. Ann Feldman has been there, done that. And now, in this invaluable, never-needed-more book, she shares her unique wisdom and experience."
