Regional Development and Chapters

Expanding the reach of our program, the AIFL has shaped a cadre of U.S. - Israel Friendship supporters in communities throughout America. Our Regional Development initiative continues to gather momentum as chapters in San Francisco, Tucson, and Salt Lake City extend the vision to their local communities.

If you would like to learn more about the AIFL's Regional Development Initiatives please contact Maya Tadmor-Anderman at mtadmor@aifl.org or 212-213-8630 ext. 225.

Tucson Chapter

The Tucson Chapter opened its "doors" on January 9, 1990 when Delegation alumni envisioned a local organization with an overwhelming emphasis on education for both adults and young people. Their aspirations melded with the existing national program of the AIFL, inspiring this core group to establish a chapter in Tucson. Since 1990, the Tucson Chapter has sponsored over one hundred Tucson-area high school students in the U.S.-Israel High School Student Youth Ambassador Exchange program.

Salt Lake City Chapter

Upon returning from the AIFL's Attorney Generals Delegation to Israel, the Honorable Mark Shurtleff recruited a host of community leaders to spearhead the formation of an AIFL Utah chapter. The chapter officially launched with a formal dinner in May of 2006, and continues to gain momentum participating in AIFL national programs.
