This year NCJC sent over 30 people to the AIPAC Policy Conference to learn first hand what Washington is saying and doing to address issues related to Israel. There were keynote addresses by major luminaries including Benjamin Netanyahu, Hillary Clinton, and Tony Blair. There were meetings with Senators and Representatives exploring legislation and the complex debate involved in each area of interest. In all, nearly 8,000 people took part in the event, and by all accounts, everyone came back better educated and more enthusiastic than ever about supporting Israel in the many ways we can.

Plans are already coalescing for next year's delegation, so if you are interested, please let us know. Next year's Policy Conference is scheduled for May 22nd-24th. Rarely do we have a chance to participate in an event so rich in breadth and depth, and specifically focusing on issues pivotal to the future of Israel itself. Come and be part of the experience in 2011.
