Colin Milner Participates in World Economic Forum
VANCOUVER – Colin Milner, founder and CEO of the International Council on Active Aging (ICAA), will be participating in The World Economic Forum’s Network of Global Agenda Councils for the second year. Milner created ICAA in 2001 to support professionals who develop wellness and fitness facilities and services for adults over 50. Milner will share his knowledge of active aging and aging-related issues in the coming year.
Based in Geneva, the Forum is an independent, nonprofit organization “committed to improving the state of the world by engaging leaders in partnerships to shape global, regional and industry agendas.” The Forum established the Network of Global Agenda Councils in 2008 to further its mission and strategic vision, and tackle global issues of critical importance. For each issue, the Forum brings together 15–20 of the world’s “most innovative and influential minds” to “capture the very best knowledge” on that topic and “integrate it into global collaboration and decision-making processes.”
Populated by thought leaders in business, government, academia and society, the Global Agenda Councils act as advisory boards to the Forum, as well as to parties such as governments and international organizations.
Milner will return to Dubai, United Arab Emirates, in November for the second annual Summit on the Global Agenda. This three-day event promotes the objective of the Global Agenda Councils to foster long-range, interdisciplinary thinking on pressing issues in the global arena. In Dubai, members of the Global Agenda Councils have the opportunity to meet in person, share their knowledge and discuss the issues. Outcomes will be reported at the Forum’s 40th annual meeting in January 2010.
