Two representatives of world Jewish organizations that hold consultative status at the United Nations were elected today to leadership positions in the Conference of Non-Governmental Organizations. The conference includes representatives of upward of 170 non-governmental organizations accredited by the UN, and is headed by an executive committee of 18.
At today’s meeting of the executive committee, Alexander Salzman, UN representative of the Consultative Council of Jewish Organizations, was chosen rapporteur for the year 1962-63. The Council embraces the UN activities of the American Jewish Committee, the Anglo-Jewish Association and Alliance Israelite Universelle. At the same meeting, Henry H. Grossman, World Jewish Congress representative here, was elected a member of the Conference executive committee. The executive committee acts as the liaison and advisory group for the nongovernmental organizations.
