Jason Marczak, Senior Editor of the Americas Quarterly, to Join Golden Networking's Latin America Leaders Forum 2010

New York, NY, October 05, 2010 --(PR.com)-- Jason Marczak, Senior Editor of the Americas Quarterly, will participate at Golden Networking's Latin America Leaders Forum 2010, "Unlikely Oasis of Growth amid the Global Economic Crisis?" (http://www.LatinAmericaLeadersForum.com), October 21st, New York City. Latin America is no longer the stereotype of populism and economic mismanagement, to which Alan Greenspan devoted an entire chapter in his memories. But it would also be a mistake to argue that the region has entered a smooth path toward development. Many challenges remain, including social tensions, imperfect political systems and structural constrains on economic growth.

Mr. Marczak is director for policy at Americas Society and Council of the Americas and senior editor of the AS/COA policy journal, Americas Quarterly. He is also managing editor of AmericasQuarterly.org, overseeing the magazine’s online content. He directs the AS/COA Hispanic integration work, which promotes dialogue and information sharing among the private sector, public sector, and community groups to advance Latino integration, with a focus on the immigrant population. Prior to joining AS/COA in 2006, Mr. Marczak was a program officer with Partners of the Americas’ Center for Civil Society, where he leveraged civil society engagement in multilateral policy processes and managed development programs throughout the hemisphere. From 1999 to 2001, he was a legislative aide for U.S. Representative Sam Farr, with a portfolio including trade, technology and small business issues. Mr. Marczak has worked with the Andean Community General Secretariat and the National Endowment for Democracy. He received a B.A. from Tufts University and a M.A. from the Johns Hopkins University Paul Nitze School of Advanced International Studies.

Latin America Leaders Forum 2010 is produced by GoldenNetworking.net (http://www.goldennetworking.net), the premier networking community for business executives, entrepreneurs, investors and diplomats, founded by former McKinsey consultant and Columbia Business School MBA Edgar Perez.
