William Daroff

CEO, Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations

Now entering his second year as CEO of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations, William Daroff spoke on behalf of the Jewish community on key events both domestic and international in 2020 – from the passing of civil rights icon Congressman John Lewis to political and diplomatic efforts to ban the Iranian-backed Lebanese terrorist group Hezbollah from the nations of the European Union. 2020 also marked a personal milestone for Daroff as his 18-year-old daughter Lily made Aliyah to the State of Israel. Having been “surrounded by Israel 24/7” growing up at home with her father, Lily said, she now wanted “to do something more important than go to college – to help the country I care about so much.” (Photo: Wikimedia / Creative Commons License)
