   Keith Eiken is a founding member of the IPP Board, and became Secretary of the Board in December of 2004.
   
   A native of Louisville, Keith began his career as a social studies teacher for the Louisville Public Schools (LPS) at Parkland Junior High. After five years of teaching, Keith enrolled in a year-long graduate program at the University of London, and returned to his home city to become Supervisor of Social Studies for LPS. Later he served as Principal at Atherton High School (from which he had graduated). He went on to head up the LPS program for gifted and talented students.
   
   Following his retirement from the LPS after 32 years of service, Keith became Executive Director of Scenic Kentucky, an environmental group that works to control the impact of commercial signage that can often prevent us from fully enjoying the natural beauty of the Kentucky landscape. He has also been active for years in the English Speaking Union.
   
   Keith's interest in interreligious cooperation was kindled in the 1970s when, after moving from Crescent Hill to Highland Baptist Church he was part of a Jewish/Christian dialogue. Keith says he could see the ripple effects of that dialogue in the Highland Baptist congregation as it instilled in the members a greater interest in interfaith activities.
   
   Keith went on to play an active role in the Cathedral Heritage Foundation's annual Festival of Faiths and has been active in the Festival since its inception. He also helped create CHF's Spiritual Art Gallery.
   
   Regarding IPP, Keith says he appreciates the way IPP strives to broaden the public's awareness of non-violence and social change in a spiritual context. He is very interested in exploring ways to use nonviolent means to resolve the Israeli/Palestinian conflict.
