Engle and her husband Ivan Suvanjieff have been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize fifteen times, and they were leading contenders for the 2015 Nobel Peace Prize.〔(Westword Magazine: "Nobel Virtues" )〕〔(Westword Magazine: "Give PeaceJam a Chance" )〕 Engle is the co-director of multiple documentaries, including ''PEACEJAM,''〔(IMDB PeaceJam Film )〕 and co-author of the book, ''PeaceJam: A Billion Simple Acts of Peace''〔(Amazon Simple Acts of Peace Book )〕〔(Google Books Simple Acts of Peace )〕 that was published by Penguin in 2008.

==History==
Engle began her career as an economist, working for the U.S. Congress in Washington, D.C. for twelve years, first as a research assistant to U.S. Senator Robert Griffin, and then as Legislative Assistant to Congressman Jack Kemp and as Legislative Director to U.S. Senator Robert Kasten. In 1986, she was promoted to Kasten's Chief of Staff, becoming the youngest woman ever to serve in that position for a U.S. Senator. She also served as an assistant director of the Republican Platform Committee. 〔(Women+Film )〕 In 1991, she co-founded the Colorado Friends of Tibet, and in 1994, she and artist Ivan Suvanjieff began working together to create the PeaceJam program. Suvanjieff and Engle married in March 2000, with Archbishop Desmond Tutu presiding over the ceremony.〔〔(Nobel Women's Initiative - GCA )〕 Engle has received dozens of awards, and has been nominated fifteen times for the Nobel Peace Prize. In November 2005, President Mikhail Gorbachev presented her and Suvanjieff with the "Man of Peace Award" for achievement in the field of Peace Education. Over the past 19 years, more than one million young people across the globe have participated in the PeaceJam program, creating almost two million projects to improve their communities and the world. In September 2008, The Dalai Lama, Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Jody Williams, Shirin Ebadi, and six other Nobel Peace Laureates joined together to launch PeaceJam’s One Billion Acts of Peace campaign, calling for one billion acts of service and peace by the year 2019.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.peacejam.org/action.aspx )〕 in January 2015, the campaign received 7 Nobel Peace Prize nominations.
