Perhaps those who were on this Team misunderstood their mission statement.  Work together to improve "The Economy" and put aside your personal agenda.  You can make a statement regarding the issue(s) on human rights and still serve on this advisory council.  Perhaps it's just me but I remember being in situations where I personally did not agree with those in command.  However I stayed focus on the mission statement / objectives and did my best to get it done.  I don't get it.  By the way, some of the CEO's (if we were to investigate) may not have come thru the ranks and were outsiders who were pulled into the corporate family.  Just saying...
