Equitable Globalization Committee

The Equitable Globalization Member Committee brings together Pacific Council members with interest and expertise in examining the impacts of globalization on the developing world. Officially launched in March 2009, the Committee explores issues including sustainable economic growth, resource management, developing civil society, human rights and technological advancement in the developing world. The Committee seeks to expand the dialogue on globalization, examining its benefits and costs, in order to identify effective solutions to the challenges faced by developing nations.

The Committee's activities are member-driven: participants are able to shape the Committee's agenda around issues that most interest them. Committee initiatives range from teleconferences and intimate discussion sessions with experts in issues surrounding equitable globalization to conferences, issue-focused program series, and international trips.

Jonathan Greenblatt, founder of Ethos Water and CEO of Good, Inc. chairs the committee and also serves as the Southern California area chair. Sarah Bachman, a freelance writer, and Steve Crane, President of Crane International, Inc. serve as the Northern California and Washington State chairs, respectively. The Committee's core group is comprised of Nancy Aossey, President and CEO of the International Medical Corps; Edmund Cain, Vice President of the Conrad N. Hilton Foundation's Grants Programs; Tom Epley, Operating Partner, Francisco Partners; Evelyn Iritani, Principal, Saylor Company; and Bob Macy of Tech Coast Angels.
