John Robert Powers was an actor in New York City in the early 1900s. One day he overheard an associate say he needed a group of attractive people to pose for magazine advertisements. That’s when Mr. Powers’ exceptional entrepreneurial skills took over: he rounded up acting friends and trained them for the advertisements. From that informal beginning Powers went on to found the nation’s first modeling agency in 1923, and the modern modeling industry was born.

John and Revé Walsh's experience taught them that the nation was in desperate need of leadership in the fight to protect children, and they decided to create something positive out of their personal tragedy. From the ad hoc organization they put together to help with the search for Adam, they established the Adam Walsh Child Resource Center, which eventually merged with the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC), which they co-founded in 1984. The NCMEC (missingkids.com / 1-800-THE LOST) provides invaluable resources to parents, children and law enforcement in the United States and internationally. The charity consistently receives an A+ rating for its ability to spend more than 90 cents of every dollar raised on programming. Its incredible public/private partnerships keep the NCMEC as a leading example of a highly respected and effective non-profit.
