The Radly Center was founded by Adam Radly. Adam Radly was raised in Melbourne, Australia where he lived until 2002 when he relocated to Los Angeles, California. Over this period, Adam Radly has established several businesses in Australia and the US and is currently the CEO of Inova Technology.
The purpose behind the establishment and development of Adam Radly's business interests is to create wealth for shareholders and to allocate almost all of his portion of this wealth to the work of the Radly Center.
This concept of the Radly Center was conceived by Adam Radlyin his early twenties when he asked himself a very important question: "What can I do with my life that will have the largest positive impact on the world?"
This question raises concepts of limited time and maximum positive impact. These concepts have permeated the objectives of the Center.
AdamRadly was one of the organizers of World Reconciliation Day ("WRD 2000") held in Melbourne in September 2000. Mr. Radly collaborated with a local teacher and two high school students to invite Mr. Nelson Mandela to attend WRD in Melbourne, Australia. Mr. Mandela agreed to address a group of community leaders in a conference about reconciliation and thousands of people who would attend a rock concert. The events raised $1 million for the Nelson Mandela Children's Fund. Although a small part of WRD involved the exploration and discussion of issues relating to reconciliation between native Australians and new settlers, the spirit of WRD was expanded to include reconciliation between all people with points of difference.
