This bridge, symbolizing the connection between the physical and spiritual realms, has been part of our landscape since shortly after the Institute was constructed in 1988.

Colette Heusinkveld
Finance Administrator
Meet Colette
I perform financial and administrative activities in support of the Finance Team. I am passionate about sharing tools, data, and background information so that staff can make confident business decisions. I like to create and maintain open lines of communication, which I feel is the bedrock of any relationship.
I previously worked in retail for 27 years, with a focus on business operations, logistics, and information systems. To my work I also bring experience in finance and legal departments.
Making someone smile gives me the greatest pleasure, and I love engaging with people in all circumstances—they help me become a better person. I am passionate about cooking, reading, (at last count my personal library was well over 1,700 books) and, most importantly, my husband Scott. He is the greatest gift I have ever received.
