History
In late 1950's, Continuation Committee from the Peoples' World Convention Executive Committee on Arrangements consisting of Philip Isely, Thane Read, Margaret Isely, and Marie Philips Scot, formulated a plan that would seek to admit delegates from both national governments and delegates from peoples of all countries to a Peoples' World Convention. The form of agreement was drafted by Thane Read and revised by Philip Isely. As the World [Constitutional Convention call|call] for a World Constitutional Convention gained momentum, an U.S. Committee for a World Constitutional Convention was formed in 1958, later renamed as World Committee for a World Constitutional Convention in 1959 with Philip Isely as Secretary. With established headquarters in Denver, Colorado in 1961, World Committee also issued calls to support the World Constitution Coordinating Committee , garnering committed delegates from 50 nations and endorsements from several heads of state. WCWCC later played a significant role in development of the world constitution.In 1966, the organization was again renamed the 'World Constitution and Parliament Association ', with Philip Isely serving as Secretary-General and Margaret Isely as Treasurer. Notably, their extensive correspondence with influential figures such as Dr. T. P. Amerasinghe of Sri Lanka and Dr. Reinhart Ruge of Mexico contributed to the growth and development of WCPA, eventually leading to their appointment as co-presidents. Together, they dedicated their efforts to advancing the cause of a World Constitution in their respective roles for many years. After the death of his first wife in 1997, Philip remarried in 2001, and he left WCPA in 2003, with Glen T. Martin assuming the role of Secretary-General.
Eugenia Almand has been Secretary General of the WCPA since 2011, and Sam Pitroda is the current President.
