Ray Jubitz

I grew up in the Northwest, graduated from the California Maritime Academy and received a Master’s Degree in Business from the University of Michigan. I worked in the maritime industry, culminating with a position as general manager of a tug & barge company in Portland. My spiritual roots began during this time with my involvement in Creative Initiative whose basic philosophy was grounded in the principle of “We Are One”. In 1988, my wife Nansie and I took a two-year fellowship with Beyond War, an educational foundation dedicated to resolving conflict without going to war. In 1990, we joined the International Executive Service Corps and spent two years in Malawi, 7 years in Zimbabwe and 2 years in Sri Lanka. bringing business skills to business owners and managers. Returning to Portland in 2001, I became the Executive Director of the Jubitz Family Foundation. Nansie and I began attending the Living Enrichment Center in 2003. Its philosophy absolutely fit with our spiritual beliefs and when the opportunity came I became one of the founders of New Thought Ministries of Oregon (now New Thought Center for Spiritual Living) and was the first President of the Board of Trustees. Firmly believing in this community and its mission, I’ve also served as a greeter, sung in the choir and served on the Circulation Committee
