Ramses Rashidi, Founder, Managing Director

Ramses is a visionary dedicated to the empowerment of the global community through ongoing research and innovative programs. Inspired by the Bahá’í vision of world unity, his lifelong journey—from Iran to the United States and China—has included extensive research into the history of civilizations and global development trends. For more than three decades, he has focused on exploring and designing balanced development systems across social, economic, and ecological dimensions that contribute to a more united, equitable, and regenerative world and to advancing civilization. Ramses has authored numerous articles and papers on The Framework for a Balanced Development Model, published across various platforms and languages. In 1995, he founded the Center for Balanced Development, which was later established as a nonprofit organization in the United States. Now based in Southern California, Ramses is developing the Innovation Club, an empowerment program designed to nurture the virtues and imagination of children and youth through mentorship by parents and community members. He is also exploring the integration of higher intelligence principles into Spiritual Enterprise initiatives that align purpose, innovation, and service.
