Matthew C. Levin Named Chief Executive Officer for
Jewish Federation of South Palm Beach County
The Jewish Federation of South Palm Beach County has announced its selection of Matthew C. Levin to become the organization’s new Chief Executive Officer on
August 1, 2012. On May 11, 2012, the Federation’s Board of Directors unanimously approved Levin for the CEO position.
Levin brings 25 consecutive years of professional responsibility with the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), culminating in his current position as Southeastern States Director and Florida Regional Director. For most of that time, he has been primarily responsible for expanding AIPAC’s major gifts program in the Southeast, including building its endowment for the future. His proven expertise also includes strategic planning and leadership development, programming and legislative affairs, as well as public speaking and relationship building.
“I am more than thrilled that Matt will be taking the reins as our new CEO,” said Ellen R. Sarnoff, Chair of the Federation’s Board of Directors. “Matt’s wealth of experience and profound lifelong commitment to the Jewish people will serve us well as we continue our sacred work of helping so many in need locally, in Israel and throughout the world. Eager to embark on this new era of professional leadership, we look forward to building on our Federation’s strengths and setting the course for a strong future.”
“We are extremely pleased with the results of our very thoughtful, comprehensive search process,” said Raymond Zimmerman, who chaired the Federation’s CEO Search Committee. “We worked hard to ensure that our organization would be in the best professional hands, and we are confident that Matt’s skills, experience and passion will bring him great success in this vital role for our Jewish community.”
A proud Florida native raised in Hollywood, Levin resides in Broward County with his wife and
their three young sons.
