Donald Yale Assumes Role of AJC Colorado President  Click HERE to read his bio. 2011 Year in Review by former AJC Colorado President David Seserman  As the premier global human rights and Jewish advocacy organization, AJC’s number one diplomatic priority this year was our world-wide campaign to defeat the initiative before the UN Security Council to declare Palestinian statehood unilaterally.  We are heartened that the Security Council ultimately did not support this unwise move. AJC’s advocacy for a just two-state solution is best summarized by the following letter-to-the-editor published last month in The Denver Post and co-signed by our leading Christian partners in Colorado: Multifaith Statement for Two-State Solution to Mideast (Denver Post Opinion, Oct. 13, 2011) As Coloradans of different religions who have come together over the years through interfaith dialogue, we jointly support our government's call for a two-state solution between Israelis and Palestinians that is achieved through direct negotiations between the two parties, resulting in permanent peace and security with mutual recognition of the state of Israel as the homeland for the Jewish people and the new state of Palestine as the homeland for the Palestinian people. Rev. Dr. Jim Ryan Council Executive, Colorado Council of Churches  Don Schlesinger Regional Director, AJC Colorado Phil Webb Ecumenical & Interreligious Affairs Officer, Archdiocese of Denver Complementing our work in the interfaith arena, AJC Colorado was pleased to build a broad-based coalition of local leaders in business, labor, law enforcement, academia and elsewhere to support bi-partisan comprehensive immigration reform that promotes humanitarian, economic and security interests for the nation, while strengthening ties between our Jewish and Latino communities. AJC’s global achievements were acknowledged by French President Nicolas Sarkozy, who stated: “AJC is the most effective, most influential and most respected of American Jewish organizations.”  Israeli President Shimon Peres declared this about AJC: “Among all Jewish organizations, I have found that yours is the most profound … I don’t know of any other organization that pays so much attention to what’s happening outside the United States, with respect to and beyond Jewish life, from India to Germany to France and in many other places …You have our real respect and admiration.” Closer to home, AJC Colorado was honored to be selected by the Allied Jewish Federation of Colorado as “2011 Partner of the Year.”  As we say goodbye to this year, we want to express our deepest appreciation to our community partners and supporters for your continued support of our mission. I am delighted that Donald Yale has assumed the role of AJC Colorado President and, on behalf of our entire AJC family, wish Donald all the best as he leads our regional office during the next few years.   May 2012 bring you and your loved ones a new year filled with good health and much joy. Sincerely, David Seserman, AJC Colorado Regional President
