Martin I. Bresler
Martin is the immediate past Chair of Americans for Peace Now, and currently a member of the Boards of the Jewish Council for Public Affairs and the American Friends of the Yitzhak Rabin Center. For many years he was actively involved with The American Jewish Committee, serving as President of the New York Chapter, as a member of the National Board of Governors, as a National Vice President, and on many committees and boards. He also served for many years on the Board of the Park East Day School in New York City.
Martin earned a business degree from City College of New York (Baruch School) and a law degree from Harvard Law School. He was a corporate lawyer for almost 40 years, the last 16 as a partner at Stroock & Stroock & Lavan. He and his wife of 54 years have two daughters, five grandchildren, and two grand-dogs. He has traveled to Israel perhaps twenty times since his first visit there in 1957 — both on organizational business and to visit with his many family members living there.
