Board of Directors

It's the rare business person who defines success based on the fullness of the heart. The Hoffman Institute is guided by a board of directors composed of fourteen highly accomplished people, all of whom have redefined their own success in just this way. Each has experienced the Process and has seen the ensuing healing and joy spill over to family, friends, and community.

Chairman of the Board

Jean (Gingie) Halloran

Gingie Halloran was elected Chairman of the Hoffman Institute Board of Directors in August 2009, replacing Mike Wick, who served as Chairman since September 2004.
