Got an invitation to become “a Member of the Network of Global Agenda Councils” run by the World Economic Forum.

Each of our Councils, comprised of 15 to 20 Members, serves as an informal advisory board to the World Economic Forum and, through the Forum, to the international community.  The Councils represent the world’s foremost integrated “intelligence” network of innovative thinking and idea exchange on global issues.  Established two years ago, the Network of Global Agenda Councils has already demonstrated its importance as a much needed catalyst for improved global cooperation on key issues.

There is a total of 72 Global Agenda Councils with about 1600 total people involved globally:  14  industry ones, 10 regional ones, 13 policy and institutional, 17 risks and opportunities, and 18 drivers and trends.

I am guessing I’m in the Geopolitical Risk one (risks and opportunities), because I’m pretty sure that Ian Bremmer of Eurasia Group is co-chairing that one.

Anyway, I’m supposed to tout the Council’s work in blog posts, op-eds, speeches, etc., and since I engage in a wide variety of such things, let this be the First Official Brag!

One step closer to the Illuminati . . . (hope I spelled it right)
