Concordia is pleased to announce the appointment of Senator George J. Mitchell to the Concordia Leadership Council.
Senator Mitchell has had a distinguished career in public service. He served in the Senate as a member of the Democratic Party for 15 years and held the position of majority leader from 1989 to 1995. He was appointed by President Clinton as the Special Advisor to Ireland, and from 1996 to 2000 he served as the Independent Chairman of the Northern Ireland Peace Talks. In 2009, Senator Mitchell was appointed as United States Special Envoy for Middle East Peace by President Obama.
Throughout his career, he has enjoyed bipartisan respect and for six consecutive years was voted “the most respected member” of the Senate by a bipartisan group of senior congressional aides.
“Together, we need to engage stakeholders from both the public and private sectors to identify information gaps and provide opportunities for dialogue on issues from the environment to national security in order to create more sustainable solutions. Concordia is the platform for these opportunities.” Senator George J. Mitchell, Former Senate Majority Leader
Senator Mitchell’s experience transcends the public sector, and he has served as Chairman of the global board of the law firm DLA Piper; Chairman of the board of directors of The Walt Disney Company; a member of the board of the Boston Red Sox; and a director of several companies, including Federal Express, Xerox, Staples, Unilever and Starwood Hotels and Resorts. He also served for ten years as the Chancellor of Queen’s University of Northern Ireland; as President of the Economic Club of Washington; and as Chairman of the International Crisis Group.
On joining the Leadership Council, Senator Mitchell said, “Together, we need to engage stakeholders from both the public and private sectors to identify information gaps and provide opportunities for dialogue on issues from the environment to national security in order to create more sustainable solutions. Concordia is the platform for these opportunities.”
With Senator Mitchell’s appointment, Concordia gains the opportunity to learn from a world leader who truly understands the unique capabilities of each sector. “From his work on the Clean Air Act to directorships at Fortune 500 companies, Senator Mitchell represents a modern leader whose experience and expertise undeniably advances Concordia’s mission,” said Concordia Co-Founders Matthew Swift and Nicholas Logothetis.
