Leslie Voltaire understands and promotes green infrastructure and technologies as well as the need to integrate the Haitian Diaspora and U.S. companies to bridge the economic and educational divide within Haiti. He has spent over 30 years in both the public and private sectors, acquiring expertise in public affairs management in his capacities as Minister of Education, Minister of Haitians Living Abroad (author of the Law which restored most of the economic rights to the members of the Diaspora), and Special Envoy to the United Nations. He also has extensive grass-roots experience as a practicing urban planner/architect in large scale public and private projects, and was a Professor of Architecture for 15 years in Haiti.

Leslie Voltaire feels that, "The January 12 earthquake, which tested our collective psyche has also demonstrated our immense capacity for solidarity and resilience.  I am counting on this strength to rebuild our country, one step at a time, so that each of us, man, woman and child, can be proud of his/her place and role in our society."
