Brig. Gen. Eyal Grinboym

Israel Defense Forces

 

Dear General Grinboym,

 

The Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations will convene in Jerusalem this month for our 43^nd annual Israel Leadership Mission. The four-day program, February 19-23, 2017, affords an opportunity for top lay and professional leaders of the Conference’s 50 member national organizations to gain insights and first-hand knowledge of events on the ground so that we can make Israel’s case most effectively in the United States on our return. 

 

We are pleased to invite you to meet with this important leadership gathering on Tuesday, February 21^st at 8:00 am at the Inbal Hotel in Jerusalem.   This briefing will be a private meeting with a small, select group of leaders and no media will be present. 

 

At this time of change and challenge in the Middle East and globally, we especially would value your unique perspective on the complex national security and military challenges facing Israel, and the role of the Air Force, and particularly the important base you command, in protecting Israel’s citizens. Last year, the Conference of Presidents was honored to be addressed by Air Force Commander Maj. Gen Amir Eshel.

 

Catalyst Group International is serving as the coordinator in Israel for this year’s mission program.  Ronit Neaman, Vice President - Israel Operations, is copied on this email and we have asked her to be in touch with your office to begin working out plans for our meeting.  Your associates can reach her at (08) 940-6960 or at ronitn@catalystgroup.co.

We offer our thanks and appreciation in advance and look forward to seeing you.  

With best wishes,

                                 

Stephen M. Greenberg                                  Malcolm Hoenlein

Chairman                                                             Executive Vice Chairman / CEO
