He has been a leader in the campaigns to pass or defend 20 major national or international whistleblower laws, including every one enacted over the last two decades. Tom has also served as “Whistleblower Ambassador” in over a dozen nations on trips sponsored by the U.S. State Department. Tom has authored or co-authored numerous books, including 2011′s The Corporate Whistleblowers Survival Guide: A Handbook for Committing the Truth, Courage Without Martyrdom: The Whistleblower’s Survival Guide. Tom is a Phi Beta Kappa honors graduate of Georgetown University, earned his J.D. from the Antioch School of Law, and sits on the boards of the Disaster Accountability Project and Berrett Koehler Authors Cooperative.

The civil society representatives have discussed the potentials for implementation of foreign experiences in the Macedonian society.
