J. Christopher Mizer Appointed to Board of Directors for Institute for Global Education

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico - Nov. 21, 2022 - PRLog -- J. Christopher Mizer, President and CEO of Vivaris Capital, LLC (https://www.vivariscapital.com/), a multi-strategy fund offering hybrid hedge and private equity structures, has been appointed to the Board of Directors at the Institute for Global Education, a 501(c)3 NGO. Mizer was selected based on the depth and diversity of his experience, as well as his commitment to social entrepreneurship, education, and environmental impact.

"We are thrilled to welcome J. Christopher Mizer into the IGE community. His keen insights and experience navigating the world of global business and sustainability will be invaluable as we continue to educate, inspire, and collaborate. We are extremely selective when choosing board members and are honored that Chris has agreed to join us in this important role," said IGE President Mitchell Rabin.

IGE has a long-standing relationship with the United Nations which began with the establishment of Radio for Peace International on the campus of the United Nations University for Peace in Costa Rica in 1986.   The connection was strengthened through various activities, notably the Indigenous Peoples Conference. In 1998, IGE was granted special Consultative Status with the UN Economic and Social Council (http://www.global-education.ca/affiliates/united-nations/) and participates in the affairs of the Council as described under United Nations Activities (http://www.global-education.ca/current-initiatives/united...).

The IGE mission is to  support and empower change agents for a better world, through education and on-the-ground projects that contribute to the eradication of global poverty, greater justice, equality of opportunity, and long-term sustainability. Overall, it is working toward a world where social justice and equal opportunity are available to everyone, where both self-reliance and collaborative interdependence are a way of life, and where humans live in peace and in harmony with the natural system for long-term quality of life.

"The work of IGE is focused on education with a worldwide perspective, and I have long admired Mitchell Rabin and his team's commitment to making great things happen. As is the case with Vivaris Capital, the emphasis is on creating a more interdependent and sustainable world. IGE believes education is key to support this change and has undertaken many projects supporting marginalized youth and adults within international communities who currently have no access to education, or the means to pay for it. I applaud IGE's success to date and look forward to  continued progress as we work towards our goals," said Mizer.
