Greg Mitchell is a political architect who has been working with governments since 1991. 

In 2013, Greg became the managing co-chair of the International Religious Freedom (IRF) Roundtable in Washington, D.C., an informal network that has proven it is possible for people of all faiths and beliefs to engage each other cooperatively across their deepest differences and take actions together, as equal citizens. The practical results: mutual respect, trust, and reliance between faith and belief communities, and between these communities and governments. The Roundtable’s multi-faith initiatives are manifestations of “bottom-up” civil society engaging the “top-down” of governments, which is something participants have modeled in the context of multiple bilateral relations. 

In 2018, Greg founded IRF Secretariat to build and manage a global network of such multi-faith, inclusive, equal citizenship roundtables, institutionalize the cooperative engagement model to build religious freedom and coordinate actions across the “bottom up” of civil society sectors and the “top down” networks of governments to increase impact. This is the path to sustainable peace and prosperity.
