In 1993, URANTIA Foundation opened a Branch Office in Finland. Seppo Kanerva and Seppo Niskanen have ably managed the Helsinki office for eight years. Seppo Kanerva has also served as the Foundation's Manager of Translations and, until recently, as Manager of Foundation Representatives.
Due to an ever-increasing workload associated with translations, the office duties have been handed over to Kristina and Pekka Siikala. They are long-time readers of The URANTIA Book. Kristina Siikala, whose native language is Swedish, but who speaks fluent Finnish, and English, has a Bachelor degree in Economic Sciences. She has served as the treasurer of the Finnish URANTIA Association for four years. Mr. Pekka Siikala has a small information technology business. We are pleased to welcome them to our worldwide network of URANTIA Foundation Offices.
The Finnish Office serves the countries of Finland, Norway, Denmark, Sweden, and Estonia. Their new address is:

The Trustees and staff of URANTIA Foundation would like to extend our appreciation to Seppo Kanerva and Seppo Niskanen for their tireless efforts and years of service at the Finnish Office. Per capita, Finland has the most URANTIA Book readers in the world. We know the Siikalas will keep up the excellent tradition set by the past managers.
