APCAC Award Highlights US - Asia Business Development

6/29/2017

Harvey Goldstein, an American businessman with decades of experience working in Southeast Asia, currently heads PT Harvest International Indonesia as its president director. In addition to his work with that consulting and development company, Harvey Goldstein is a past chairman of the Asia Pacific Council of American Chambers of Commerce (APCAC), which he assisted in developing into a major driver of economic growth and business networking opportunities throughout the region. In 1986, the same year Mr. Goldstein became its president, the organization initiated its annual APCAC Award.

Today, APCAC continues this tradition by presenting the award each year at its Washington, DC policy conference. The men and women distinguished by their receipt of the award are noted for their accomplishments in building stronger economic relationships between the United States and the Asia-Pacific region. Over the years, honorees have included then Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who received the award in 2012 along with U.S. Chamber of Commerce president Thomas Donohue.

In 2015, the individuals so honored included Secretary of Commerce Penny Pritzker, Congressman Charles Boustany, Jr. (R-Louisiana), Senator Orrin Hatch (R-Utah), and Senator Ron Wyden (D-Oregon). The inclusion of these prominent figures among the APCAC Award’s honorees underscores the bipartisan nature of global economic development.

Harvey Goldstein, an American who has achieved prominence in business and philanthropic work in Southeast Asia, currently heads PT Harvest International Indonesia. Reflecting his focus on charitable activities in the field of education, Harvey Goldstein serves as chair of the Southeast Asia Advisory Group of the Johns Hopkins Center for Talented Youth.

The Johns Hopkins University holds a prominent place among the world’s leading research universities. It has never wavered from its commitment to enabling its students and faculty to explore the full range of learning opportunities in multiple fields. Under the direction of President Ronald J. Daniels, the school has increased investment in interdisciplinary cooperation and community responsiveness through its long-range planning.

For close to 40 years, Johns Hopkins has hosted an intensive summer learning experience to provide enrichment to highly gifted elementary, middle, and high school students. Through their experiences at the Center for Talented Youth, students grow academically and socially.

Each three-week program at the center immerses students in a particular subject taught above grade level, and offers low student-to-teacher ratios. Follow-up has shown that participants gain significantly in topic knowledge and ability to achieve higher SAT scores. Meeting other exceptionally gifted young people provides the added benefit of broadening peer groups and instilling greater self-confidence.

In 2017, President Daniels awarded Mr. Goldstein a Certificate of International Leadership and Service, recognizing his sponsorship of Singaporean students at CTY.
