 The Bretton Woods Committee 

The Bretton Woods Committee is the non-partisan, non-profit network of prominent global citizens which works to demonstrate the value of international economic cooperation and to foster strong, effective Bretton Woods’s institutions as forces for global well-being.

 History 

The Bretton Woods Committee was created in 1983 at the suggestion of two former Treasury officials - Secretary Henry Fowler and Deputy Secretary Charls Walker, a Democrat and a Republican. Both saw a need for an organized effort to ensure that leading citizens spoke to Congress about the importance of funding the World Bank and IMF.
