(PRWEB) June 16, 2004 -- Limor Schafman, a market strategist by profession
and founder/president of Keystone TechGroup (www.keystonetechgroup.com) recently joined the ranks of
chapter leadership for the World Future Society. "I am very proud to have been
elected to this position with an energetic Board of Directors and a new
international organizational leadership," Ms. Schafman stated. "Together with
Tim Mack, the new President of the World Future Society, the National Capital
Chapter and chapters around the world are poised to reinvigorate the public
perception of futurists and futurism. Our goal is to bring futurist tools and
thinking into the every day world of policy makers, business people, educators
and the general public. By empowering individuals with tools to make informed
decisions, their lives will be enriched and the continued healthy existence of
the world ensured."
When asked for a comment on the DC Chapter electing a
woman president, Tim Mack, who was at one time General Counsel for the DC-based

exciting milestone for WFS as a whole, and we welcome the opportunity to work
much more closely with Limor and the National Capital Chapter on a variety of
issues.”
