Kansas City man named to Time magazine Most Influential list

Congratulations to Kansas City's own Gary White for being named one of Time magazine's most influential people of 2011!

Gary, and his partner Matt Damon (the Academy-Award-winning writer/actor), co-founded Water.org in 2009. Water.org is a nonprofit organization committed to providing safe drinking water and sanitation to people in developing countries.

“Water and sanitation are the most basic building blocks of human life and dignity. Without them, people will forever struggle to move forward with their lives” said Gary White. Gary has been working to bring water around the world for more than 25 years and has received numerous awards and recognitions for his work over the years.

In 2010, Gary was featured as one of the All-In people in my book Put Your Whole Self In! Life and Leadership the Hokey Pokey Way. Gary and Matt are All-In and Influential.
