Dan Glickman
Chairman & CEO, Motion Picture Assoc. of America
Dan Glickman served as the 26th United States Secretary of Agriculture, a post he held from 1995 until 2001. Previously he was a Democratic representative for Kansas in Congress for 18 years. Currently he is the president of the Motion Picture Association of America, which is comprised of the "big six" Hollywood studios. Glickman was born in Kansas in 1944 and began his career as a lawyer. He was one of the managers appointed by the House of Representatives in 1986 to conduct the impeachment proceedings against Harry E. Claiborne, a Nevada judge.

Glickman contends that many of the problems of the developing world need to be addressed at the fundamental level of agriculture, specifically creating a self-sustaining agricultural infrastructure.
