“The List” of Corporate Fellows – Where was it Found? [First published 7/19/2013]
I found this list in July 2013. All were Corporate Fellows of a certain Nonprofit (notice: none are nonprofits themselves, I think)[1].
([1] update. Actually the last one on the list (Western Governors University) is, and probably some of the healthcare-related ones also are.
See “Phoebe Factoid suit argued in Highest Court” (Oct. 2011. The nonprofit in question was a health-care system n Albany, Georgia). I blogged it in January 30, 2010, as a point of reference about nonprofitsThe Profit in Nonprofits and 2 men in Albany, GA, however that post has been blocked out (I DNK why) from public view. Interesting.
[2] My 9/15/2016 update Page (since where the list was found has already been identified in later posts) includes information on the specific public-civil-servant (governors)-led organization’s red-carpet invitation to a “pay-per-presentation” style of governance through the “Corporate Fellows Program.” The Page* is about a different subject matter, but in the course of explaining who is that organization, also takes a look at one of the half-BILLION-dollar (Total Assets, of which around $300M is stowed in public-treated securities controlled by an organization whose independently voting board of directors is only 14 people):
*In blogging, a Page =/= a Post. Posts appear in sequence (current ~~> older) on the blog main page as published, and links to them, by date only (without titles) also show up automatically under “Archives. ” By contrast links (access) to published Pages are only displayed if I, the blog administrator, choose to load them onto the sidebar, or link to them within a post, as I did here. Right now, my right sidebar is overloaded, and this “Do You Know Your NGA” one may or may not show up there when I publish it, later today (9/15/2016).
Incidentally, this seems to be true for all blogs and websites, such that private individuals working for or more closely associated with the blog’s (or website’s ) organization may have access to much more information than the public does at any point in time. Also, material displayed changes over time.
Sometimes I will run across information through a general Google search for which I cannot find ANY clear path to starting from the main website. When this happens, repeatedly, on government websites (state level or other) it can be very disconcerting.
Over the three years since this post, I have learned a lot. I recommend viewing that “Do You Know Your NGA” Post at your earliest convenience. I believe this information is under-reported and not commonly understood, although as you will find out, the NGA claims to pre-date both the income tax and the federal reserve… Sincerely//LGH (Blogger “Let’s Get Honest”).
My last few posts have taken a look at some of these corporations, what business they are in, and how they do business. The groups, and their founders are fascinating, and are the backdrop to the type of business chosen to be on such a list. These corporate fellows, literally help government advise the people how to think, work, act, and how the world works and on major public policy.
These types of companies reflect major sectors of the economy. I encourage people to look some of them up and ask, what did they have in common, and to whom are they “Corporate Fellows?”
So it’s only “THE List” in the context of recent references by me to “the list.”
Below this list((in two formats), a short discussion of why the word “Fellows” and what it implies, other than honor, high achievement, special privileges, and esteemed colleagues. It also has snob appeal, cf. a form of nobility. So whoever considered this list to be “Corporate Fellows,” other than that they’re also contributing to the central group, we should be asking WHY.
Such lists (this is only one) are indicators of who, really, is “The U.S.A.?” and what business is it in. I think this particular clue is overlooked and underrated as to how deeply it can affect the quality of life, and who answers to whom, at the “local” (street) level.
It’s in two formats — the top table contains (or should) the exact same list as the bottom.
The BOTTOM one may be easier to click on individual corporations than the bottom, BUT OVER TIME HAS LOST ITS TABLE FORMATTING, and I am not replacing it at this time.
I tried to put it in a single-column, left-side-of post, format around which posts could be written, but don’t have the technical expertise (yet). If you want to help upgrade the visual formatting of this post, please use the Donate Button to right!

Western Governors University is just that — it is an on-line university started by Governors (as in, or New York, of Florida, etc.). It is registered as a business in Salt Lake City Utah, and was started in 1995. See related post/s on this one…
“Corporate Fellows”
.
The term “Fellows” has a connotation of academic expertise and collegiality:
In academia, a fellow is a member of a group of learned people who work together as peers in the pursuit of mutual knowledge or practice. The fellows may include visiting professors, postdoctoral researchers and doctoral researchers.
and yes, it does appear to be a concept from the UK, which is to say, Oxford University, and others.
It may indicate helps run the college, has a special award for graduate study, or other connotations:
Learned or professional societies, or speciality training[edit]
Fellows are the highest grade of membership of most professional or learned societies (see for example, the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators or Royal College of Surgeons). Lower grades are referred to as members (who typically share voting rights with the fellows), or associates (who may or may not, depending on whether “associate” status is a form of full membership).
Large corporations in research and development-intensive industries (IBM, Sun Microsystems, Microsoft, Google or Apple in information technology, Bell Labs or L3 Communications in telecommunications, and Boston Scientific in Medical Devices for example) appoint a small number of senior scientists and engineers as fellows. Fellow is the most senior rank or title one can achieve on a technical career, though some fellows also hold business titles such as vice president or chief technology officer.
Reminder — anything I write which isn’t a direct quote of others is proprietary, “co. (date published)” to me, i.e., the individual (flesh and blood human being) who wrote this blog 2009 – 2013. It takes time to assemble the information and consider how it fits into the larger picture, then write it up. A LOT of time.
I link to my sources. If you copy this, please link to my blog. Thank you. I’ll cite where it came from shortly, after making the point that we ought to be more aware of such groups. You could also look up that assembly of names and probably find them on-line as well.

Let's Get Honest! Absolutely Uncommon Analysis of Family & Conciliation Courts' Operations, Practices, & History 
Saw a posting on Kids’ Turn and involved in custody/litigation with board member. Would be interested in discussing as this organization in my opinion tainted the SF court system. Date: Sat, 20 Jul 2013 04:03:21 +0000 To: stmi80@hotmail.com

[I did see the IP is out of state, FYI)
When you say “with” a board member, you mean that’s the other parent, or someone seeking custody? Or a board member is a professional on the case?
I’m not in a space to “consult,” at least for free (See DONATE button), which is why I try to post the basics in a fashion that, if they’re understood (including that this is hardly legal OR accounting advice; I’m not in either of those fields) others could.
————-
The pattern of privatizing government through letting nonprofit trade associations form mroe and more nonprofits to take federal and private (parental) money, and other sources (i.e., working through grants which in California at least come to the Administrative Office of the Courts, under the Judicial Council) is clear. AFCC and CRC (Children’s Rights Council) are just some of the older? kids on the block.
Members then form their own profits which may, or may not mention where these people in different states hooked up with each other for the next bright idea. Here’s a retired SF Law Commissioner hooking up with some parent coordinators, and a former (or is it still current?) AFCC Board Member, Robin Deutch — for a Reunification Camp, “Overcoming Barriers.”

I have at least two posts on Kids’ Turn, did you read them both? Basically it’s another court-professional-generated nonprofti set up to take referral business from the courts, also supported in part by federal grants to the states supporting access/visitation. That KT SF started in 1987 shows they knew what was coming down the pipeline, most likely. That’s easy to do if there’s overlap of associations with groups who are lobbying for the same changes.
___________
The SF Court was tainted long before Kids’ Turn came around it was simply another vehicle, getting ready for the access/visitation funding apparently. My favorite “off the charts” was watching this organization initially attempt to get a law passed actually naming it as a service provider, then revising the law to be not quite so obvious about “can you MANDATE parents to buy our services, please?”

That will show board members. Other on-line sources may show vendor payments if there’s a conflict of interest in your case. Not that I’m sure it’ll help. For an example of someone who’s very good at getting the vendor payments, google Finding Ground Zero (connecticut-basis) in the Washington Times (“AINE NISTIOPHAIN”), or a May 20th article on CT court employees facing tough questions (Anne Stevenson). I’ve also linked to them and posted on them not too long ago.
____________
I don’t think Kids’ Turn tainted the SF court system much more than it already was; tainted organizations can only reproduce what they already are — which requires also plenty of public enablement as the public has been conditioned to accept so much authority as a normal part of life, and not trained to understand their own best interests where they differ from the interests of the courts themselves. AFCC doesn’t have a stable incorporation history and its own self-narratives are inaccurate (from what we can tell). The pattern was set early on– lobby for specialist courts (Conciliation courts), lobby to get that written into the family code (Done: California’s Family Code has an entirely separate section for ‘Conciliation,” which I’ve blogged), and then push to get the speicalized services you’d lobbied for first CERTIFIED (and set yourself up to provide the certification — Kids Turn providers have to do some of this, right?), charge certification fees to run seminars (or charge it off to the public through continuing education?), deposit the funds “wherever” (no one’s really watching — we are not trained to read the CAFRs and be ACTIVELY involved in tracking down each and every public fund, at least the ones related to the courts or even to suspect the fraud and waste). These “lost” funds can very easily become kickbacks or help set up yet more operations and industries.
===============
I am still owed thousands of child support arrears, and was all but laughed out of the office the last time I brought it up. My children (now young adults) never got these after custody switch because of the games available in this venue. Nor would the process allow one parent to actually BE a sole provider due to forced co-parenting with sickos (people who regularly commit crimes, not just people one doesn’t get along with). ……
===============
Do you want to submit a post, or win a custody situation?
If it’s win a custody situation, while I can’t guarantee this would help, go get the evidence first — and that’s payments to any court-appointed professionals, contracts with the courts, vendor payments, grants involved, and don’t forget (which the public has a right to know anyhow) the payments to judges involved.
However, if you have a KT-involved case, you’ve probably got an AFCC judge, which signifies certain viewpoints; they are likely to order services to some cronies. So find that relationship and protest it, if it’s inappropriate.
The key offense, again, is using the courthouses for advancing private for-profit interests, and private nonprofits to strategize away from the public to promote mutual interests at public expense without adequate public input.
There seems to be no “win” for the children which is also a win for the public when these particular courts are involved; they are playing Russian Roulette with entire communities through inciting court battles.
Are you asking for off-line communications?
