Through Global Voice he convened a series of Global Town Halls on UN renewal and global governance reform, the subject of his June 2019 Mondial article. His career in non-profit management, coalition-building, and political activism for social change has spanned global peace and security, environmental protection, public health, and historic preservation. James served Citizens for Global Solutions (the US publisher of Mondial) as Executive Director, Development Director, and Board Chair. His earlier leadership roles include Executive Director of the Rachel Carson Homestead Association and of the Woodrow Wilson House Museum, Director of Programs and Development at the New Mexico Environmental Law Center, Director of Preservation Programs at the Pittsburgh History and Landmarks Foundation (where he helped create the Rivers of Steel National Heritage Area), and Director of Development at SITE Santa Fe. In March 2026 The Common Home of Humanity, a global environmental governance initiative, voted him an Honorary Member. He was an international election observer in Bosnia and Herzegovina in 1997 and served in the US Army from 1966 to 1967. An award-winning novelist and screenwriter, he holds a Master of Arts in Teaching (Museum Education) from The George Washington University and a Bachelor of Arts in Economics and History from the University of Arkansas.
