Becoming a WGI Member Organisation

In every edition of What’s Buzzing, we proudly shine a light on our official WGI Member Organisations (MOs). Their work, leadership, and dedication keep Glasser’s legacy alive across the world.

But this month, we want to celebrate something equally important:
The journey of becoming a WGI Member Organisation!

Every MO begins with a handful of people who believe in Choice Theory®, who want to serve their communities, and who want to connect with a global network grounded in humane, practical psychology. Whether an organisation is just getting started or well on its way, every step is worth celebrating.

Becoming an MO is not only a process, it’s a growth path. It builds community, strengthens quality, and opens the door to leadership, collaboration, and meaningful impact.

This month we focus on Afghanistan that is on this growth journey.

Afghanistan is a landlocked country located at the crossroads of Central and South Asia, bordered by Pakistan (east/south), Iran (west), Turkmenistan (northwest), Uzbekistan (north), Tajikistan (northeast), and China (northeast), known for its mountainous terrain, including the Hindu Kush range, and strategic position along ancient trade routes.
