— Paul Volcker, Former Chairman,
Federal Reserve System

"The Council is a distinguished organization...and has a long and proud tradition of bringing international figures to the cradle of the American nation."

"By attending a wide variety of programs ranging from cocktail receptions and symposia, to dinner parties and high level briefings, the Council means personal interaction and exposure to the leaders of the region and the world."
