MBEP announces agenda for 3rd annual Regional Economic Summit

Scott Kriens, 1440’s Co-Founder, said, “On behalf of 1440 Multiversity we are grateful to MBEP for this recognition. We have had a great relationship with the City of Scotts Valley from the first days we began discussions over four years ago, and it has been a partnership that has grown stronger ever since.” Scott is the Chairman and former CEO of Juniper Networks, who with his wife, Joanie Kriens, started the 1440 Foundation in 2010 to cultivate the belief that to be in meaningful and authentic relationships is a life skill that can be learned. Today the Multiversity fulfills a vision of offering professional development, personal growth, and health and wellness, through a wide array of programs in an immersive setting where world class teachers and lifelong learners can thrive together. The name of the 1440 Foundation comes from Joanie. While spending time in her garden one morning, fully present and struck by the beauty of that moment, she thought of the gift we are all given—1440 minutes in each day to live more mindful, connected, and compassionate lives
