President Biden has sent a congratulatory letter to AJC CEO David Harris, who has served at the helm of the leading global Jewish advocacy organization for 32 years. He will step down later this year.
Michael L. Tichnor has been elected president of the American Jewish Committee (AJC), the leading global Jewish advocacy organization. “I am honored and humbled to take on this most meaningful role at AJC, an organization which exemplifies courage, strength, diplomacy and action,” said Tichnor.
AJC praised the New York Police Department for apprehending the suspect, Shawn Schraeder, in the brutal beating of Leonard Petlakh, executive director of the Kings Bay Y in Brooklyn, New York.
