Overview
- The Israeli-American Council announced Tuesday, July 7, that Elan S. Carr will conclude his three-year term as CEO on September 30 and then continue working with the organization in a strategic capacity.
- The IAC Board of Trustees said it will lead a comprehensive search for a new chief executive but has not released a candidate list or a timeline for the process.
- Carr, who became CEO in October 2023, is credited by the IAC with expanding nationwide mobilization, campus outreach and programs to combat antisemitism after the October 7 attacks.
- Board co-chairs Tal Shuster and Dr. Avi Almozlino and major supporters including the Adelson family praised Carr’s leadership and framed the move as a managed transition aimed at protecting donor relationships and program momentum.
- The change could affect the IAC’s ongoing campus and community antisemitism initiatives and its recent national partnerships, so observers should watch the board’s search for a successor and any shifts in program priorities.
