abstract:Peter Ackerman (born November 6, 1946) is the founding chair of the International Center on Nonviolent Conflict and the managing director of Rockport Capital Incorporated. He chaired the board of trustees of Freedom House from September 2005 until January 2009.
It follows that it is critically important to have frontline leaders like Mayor Bloomberg, PeterAckerman, and Michelle Rhee blaze the trail and not just in education policy.
