Executive Board of Directors

Annual Policy Forum + Election Of New Officers

B’nai B’rith members and supporters from across the United States and around the world gathered in Washington, D.C., Nov. 8 to Nov. 10 to learn how B’nai B’rith is at the forefront of today’s most pressing issues; engaging with high-level speakers on topics such as U.S.-Israel relations, the rise of global anti-Semitism and the delegitimization of Israel; and making their voices heard on all things related to B’nai B’rith’s global agenda.
Those in attendance were joined by a number of high-profile speakers, including Nancy Spielberg, producer of the documentary “Above and Beyond;” Alan Gross, who was imprisoned in Cuba for five years; founding editor and publisher of The Rothenberg & Gonzales Political Report, Stuart Rothenberg; officials from the State Department and Treasury; and several ambassadors.
Gary P. Saltzman, of Centennial, Colo., was elected president of B’nai B’rith International by the Board of Governors at its annual meeting in conjunction with the Policy Forum. Saltzman immediately began a three-year term leading the world’s oldest and most widely known Jewish humanitarian, human rights and advocacy organization.

B’nai B’rith International has had a long and proud history of service to the members of the armed forces as well as the returning veteran and their needs. The Board of Governors in 2015 passed a resolution called Valuing our Vets, where B’nai B’rith will focus on the cause of veterans’ benefits in its advocacy efforts for the elderly, as their needs reflect our commitment to value these dedicated men and women who have served our nation.

The B’nai B’rith Senior Housing Conference was held at the same time as the annual Policy Forum, with attendees focusing on HUD updates, training and Capitol Hill visits to discuss the importance of continuing to fund more Section 202 Affordable Senior Housing.
