Simon Pek

Simon Pek, BCom, MIB’11, and two of his fellow Queen’s alumni, Adam Cronkright, ArtSci’09, and Jeffrey Kennedy, ArtSci’10, recently launched an internationally collaborative non-profit organization called Democracy In Practice, which is dedicated to democratic innovation, experimentation and capacity-building. The organization seeks to develop and experiment with progressive approaches to governance that are more representative and inclusive, and that lead to more effective decision-making. They have been working with several student governments in Bolivia, and hope to soon expand to other communities and organizations. democracyinpractice.org
