Scott Hoffman is WFI Director at Citizens for Global Solutions. He is also the guitar teacher at the Capitol Hill Day School and St. Peter's Interparish School, both on Capitol Hill in Washington. Mr. Hoffman served as Field Director of the World Federalist Association from 1990 to 2004 and Executive Director of the World Federalist Association of New England from 1985 to 1990. Mr. Hoffman earned a B.A. in English from Harvard College and an M.A.T. from the Harvard Graduate School of Education.

Mr. Hoffman's experience lies in U.S.-Global Engagement, Peace and Security, International Law and Justice and International Institutions. He is particularly interested in international institutions and believes that: "a portion of WFI's work should be devoted to detailed study of creating global institutions capable of preventing war and passing and enforcing binding global legislation.... I consider myself a combination of an idealist and a pragmatist. I have believed that world federation was the answer to the world's problems since I was in high school. However, I also believe it's important for Citizens for Global Solutions to have the professionalism and political savvy to convey our message with credibility so that we can influence other NGOs and decision-makers. It makes sense for it to focus most of its work on ‘first step' programs which are supported by other organizations and have a chance of succeeding within the next few years, like a U.N. Emergency Peace Service. Part of WFI's role should be to help CGS continue to frame its work within the context of our long-term goals".

Mr. Hoffman has published editorials in the American Friends Service Committee journal in New England and the World Federalist newsletter. He was also co-editor of A New World Order (WFA, 1991).

Experimental Cities, of which she is Co-President, works on projects affecting energy security, pollution, and global poverty. These issues are of particular importance to Dr. Marcus. She believes this era of profound globalization and widespread telecommunication calls for different thinking and different structures to address human relationships at all levels and would like to discuss finding innovative approaches to new and existing problems.

Dr. Marcus is the author of "Equal Time: Maintaining A Balance in Today's Intimate Relationships". She believes that the principles for good intimate relationships apply to all relationships. She feels that "the world has not done enough to bring women's voices into the planning and decision-making processes. We have been limping along with input from only half of the human species.
