As many of you know Dr. Izzo
donates a good percentage of his time to positions that have assisted
with our ongoing efforts to decrease our imprint on our planet.
In the late 80's he was the
board chair of the California Sierra Club and
he attended and participated in the 1993 International Conference
on Population and Development in Cairo, Egypt as the Chair of the North
American Environmental Caucus. He then took a two year term as board
vice presidency followed by the board chairman position of the Canadian
Parks and Wilderness Society (CPAWS) here in British Columbia before
turning his work more directly toward the corporate industry. His
peacekeeper personality has always enabled him to bring opposing sides
into a room, to assist them in hearing and understanding each other and
reaching a compromise that benefits both. Whether it is science and
religion, industry and environmentalists, healthcare and corporations

all towards change is acclaimed globally.

personal, thought provoking and inspiring that will move people towards
