A development arm of Emory University is partnering with financial organizations to bring experts to Atlanta for a conference examining the pitfalls and opportunities presented by globalization.

The presidential election process is putting a spotlight on the global economy, as candidates grapple on the impact of international trade on domestic workers and its role in jumpstarting the slow-growing U.S. economy.

The Emory Development Institute, which leverages the university’s personnel and resources to aid economic progress, is collaborating with the Financial Standards Foundation and the Financial Services Forum to host the two-day forum beginning July 10.

The foundation was formed in 2001 to facilitate the creation of a global financial system based on comprehensive standards.

George Vojta, a creator of the foundation and a board member of many international companies and banking-related organizations, will participate in the event.

The Financial Services Forum is a policy organization comprised of 20 CEOs from top financial services companies. Robert Henrikson, chairman, president and CEO of Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, is an alumni trustee of Emory and will participate in the event.

The forum will release a report next week on a new U.S. assistance program to help American workers displaced by the global economy adjust to their new situation.

GlobalAtlanta will conduct a filmed interview with Mr. Vojta about this and other subjects.
