Who We Are

In Balance International was born sometime before 1998 when Alexander Strachan started to put his vision of a better world on paper. Alex believes that the world would be enhanced if the half of the world’s population who remain largely unheard, were actually listened to, as the available pool of sharp minds that could focus on problem-solving at the top level would effectively be doubled. He founded In Balance International to provide a grassroots network for women to use as a conduit to flex their economic and political muscles. Alex believes if women begin to exercise their enormous economic clout, regardless of geography, background or economic status, and if strategic investments in women are made; lasting change will occur.

With a great desire to see his daughter benefit from a shift in our social paradigm, and through something Alex has attributed to intuition, he contacted Joni Cooper. These two came together to devise the first steps of a plan which would propel Alex’s vision into a reality. They asked Janine Suboch, an experienced educator and creative thinker and Bird Mack, a financial professional, to join them; and in March 2006 the four of them became the founding directors of In Balance International.

We need your help to see the vision become reality!
