Global Citizen Forum Launches Membership Community

Exceptional benefits include access to a network of global
leaders, especially curated events, and the opportunity to create a
lasting impact

Montreal (ots/PRNewswire) - The Global Citizen Forum
(https://www.globalcitizenforum.org/) introduces its membership-based
community that offers year-long access to events and experiences
around the world with a global network of friends and partners
committed to unlocking the potential of global citizenship as an
engine for positive change.

By unlocking a network of government, business and thought
leaders, members will reinvent their experience and impact as global
citizens through a diverse community that nurtures the values of
inclusion, tolerance, equality and collaboration. The Global Citizen
Forum will allow members to reach beyond borders, while turning
promising contacts into thriving opportunities.

Incorporated as a non-profit in Montreal, Canada, the Global
Citizen Forum is proud to announce the appointment of its Advisory
Board consisting of Cherie Blair, Head of the Cherie Blair Women's
Foundation; Wyclef Jean, Grammy Award-Winning Artist; Irina Bokova,
Former Director-General of UNESCO; Hon. Sergio Marchi, Former
Minister Citizenship & Immigration of Canada; and Sheikh Mohammed Al
Thani, a member of the Royal family of Qatar.

"We are delighted to have such high level and inspirational
figures in our community. The Advisory board and the new membership
program are a major step forward in the development of the Global
Citizen Forum, which is set to become the leading platform for
advocacy on mobility and migration," said Talimka Yordanova, chief
executive officer of the Global Citizen Forum.

Members of the Global Citizen Forum can participate in dialogue on
global issues during specially curated events, workshops, trainings
and experiences. These include access to regional and thematical GCF
gatherings during the UNGA in New York City, WEF in Davos, Expo 2020
in Dubai, as well as partnering networks such as Concordia Summit,
Global Blockchain Business Council and many others.

The Global Citizen Forum has also redefined its purpose to
incorporate five core pillars
(https://www.globalcitizenforum.org/our-platform/) - governance,
technology, mobility, sustainability and culture. These pillars
represent the fundamental building blocks of global citizenship and
are used as channels for dialogue and measurable impact.

"As citizens of the world, we understand that global challenges
are not defined by borders, regions or nationalities and we share a
social conscience to address and overcome them," said Armand Arton,
founder of the Global Citizen Forum.

In addition to the year-long events and experiences, members are
invited to the GCF Annual Summit hosted in different parts of the
world. The 5th edition, The Future of Human Mobility
(https://www.globalcitizenforum.org/yerevan-2019/), will be hosted in
Yerevan on October 10-12, 2019.

From Heads of State, government officials, members of royal
families, to ambassadors and diplomats, business leaders and bankers,
as well as artists, designers, sports personalities, and celebrities,
more than 500 attendees are expected to attend the Annual Summit in
Yerevan.

This will build on the progress of previous editions held in
Dubai, Toronto, Monaco, and Montenegro, with guests that included the
late Mr. Kofi Annan, former Secretary-General of the United Nations;
Mr. José Manuel Barroso, former President of the European Commission;
Ms. Irina Bokova, director-general of UNESCO; the Hon. Gaston A.
Browne, Prime Minister of Antigua & Barbuda; Mr Robert De Niro,
award-winning actor and director; and Eve, Grammy-winning artist.
