The prestigious private club comprises business leaders from throughout France dedicated to the advancement of professional careers and philanthropic activities.

Besides gathering a rich network of top business figures, Fredericksen's club promulgates a variety of social work programs and awards grants to many charities, said Madden.

"We intend to make known that through the club's largess, hundreds of scholarships have been awarded to disadvantaged children, as well as to students at the first network of Jewish schools in France. Today several hundred club members attend lectures by eminent personalities including President of France Nicolas Sarkozy; Christine Lagarde, former Economic Minister and now Managing Director of International Monetary Fund; Arnaud Lagardere, President of Lagardere Group; Jacques Seguela, Vice President, Director General of Havas Advertising; French Journalist Anne Sinclair; Samuel Pisar, International Lawyer and writer; Pierre Moscovici, former Minister of European Affairs; Bertrand Delanoe, Mayor of Paris; Roselyne Bachelot, French Minister; Alain Minc, writer, and Francois Zimeray, Ambassador of France for Human Rights who recently spoke about revolts occurring worldwide.

Fredericksen's network is a veritable "Who's Who" of France, said Madden.

He has close ties to Alexandre Adler, Journalist, geopolitician and writer; Alain Finkielkraut, Philosopher; Maurice Levy, President of Publicis; Elie Barnavi, former Israeli Ambassador to France; Henri Proglio, President and Director General of EDF; Guillaume Sarkozy, the older brother to French President Nicolas Sarkozy, President of the insurance company Malakoff Mederic, and Michele Fitoussi of Elle Magazine whose book on how the woman Jean Cocteau called "The Empress of Beauty" – Helena Rubinstein – revolutionized the beauty industry.  

"Who wouldn't want to meet some of Marc's network of close friends, top-level clients and esteemed associates?" asked Madden.
