AJC Atlanta's Berman Leadership Alumni Society is proud to present its first reception of 2018 featuring Ambassador Reda Mansour. Dinner will be served starting at 7pm, and the program will begin promptly at 7:30pm.

Ambassador Mansour, PhD is a former Israeli ambassador to both Brazil and Ecuador. Appointed at 35 years old, he was the youngest ambassador in Israel’s history as well as the first non-Jewish career diplomat. Early in his career as consul general of Israel to the U.S. Pacific Northwest, based in San Francisco, he used art and music to promote Arab-Jewish dialogue. Later, he also served in Atlanta, where he was chosen by his fellow consul generals from more than 50 countries to be the dean of the Atlanta Consular Corps. Mansour is also an accomplished author, who has published among his academic body of work four books of poetry as well as several short stories. His doctoral work from the University of Haifa focused on the intellectual history of modern Syria. He also holds an M.A. from Harvard University’s Kennedy School of Government and speaks five languages.
