Written by Sue Dyer, Founder, IPI    

You are the builders of the modern world,

not only with steel and stone,

but with an unseen mortar of trust.

Through Collaborative Partnering,

you lay foundations of respect and care,

and from these, towers rise and bridges stretch.

Trust is not written in contracts;

it is born in honesty,

and in the steady hand that says,

“I will walk beside you until the work is done.”

This Thanksgiving, we honor you—

our members who believe in cooperation,

who prove that trust builds the future.

Together, we give thanks.
