Paula Francis
Paula Francis is a co-founder and Vice President of GNHUSA, and Chief Happiness Walker. She has been enamored with the idea of an economy grounded in happiness since first learning about the concept in 2008. Soon after, she became one of the original organizers of Gross National Happiness USA (GNHUSA) and traveled to Bhutan to witness GNH in action. In 2014, she committed to the Happiness Walk full-time to further the goals of GNHUSA and to ignite a national conversation about what matters most in life. Paula leans on her strong spiritual foundation to create social change: one-person, one-step at a time to inspire local action around creating a world that works for everyone – and the planet! Prior to this, Paula offered organizational services to social-profits through her business, Inspired Consultation. As her grown daughters have set out to create their own happy lives, Paula has made the road her new home.
