On June 22. the American Zionist Movement (AZM) elected a new slate of officers, one that reflects the American Zionist community in this country, spanning the religious and political spectrum.

- Chair of the National Board, Michael Laufer, ARZA, NY
- VP for Programming, Nomi Colton-Max, Ameinu, NJ
