Orthodox
Union to Honor
Senator Frank Lautenberg and Fredric Mack
Institute
for Public Affairs Honors New Jersey Residents New Jersey Senator
Frank Lautenberg and Fredric
Mack, Executive Director of the
Mack-Heiferman Company, will be the guests of honor at the Orthodox
Union's Institute
for Public Affairs Dinner on Tuesday, September 19, at the Grand Hyatt
Hotel in New York City.
Frank Lautenberg has enjoyed remarkable
success as an innovative business leader, respected communal activist and
devoted United States Senator for
nearly 20 years. The Institute for Public Affairs particularly appreciates
his life-long support for the State of Israel and his historic
efforts to bring a measure of justice to
families that have lost loved ones to
terrorism.
Following his graduation from Columbia
University with a degree in economics, Senator Lautenberg and two friends
founded the country's first payroll service company, Automatic Data
Processing (ADP), which today employs more than 30,000 people and has
recorded more than 150 consecutive quarters of record earnings and record
sales.
Elected to the United State Senate in 1982,
Senator Lautenberg quickly distinguished himself as a leader in
environmental affairs, transportation issues and foreign policy. His
experience as CEO of ADP imbued him with leadership qualities that have
been reflected in his outspoken positions on issues affecting Israel's
security and dignity, including a major role in the efforts to secure our
government's recognition of Jerusalem
as the undivided capital of Israel.
Fredric Mack has been a vice president and
senior partner at Mack Construction Corp since 1975 and a partner at Mack
Industries, Mack Affiliates, and the
Mack Company since 1975. He is currently the Executive Director
of the Mack-Heiferman Company, and a member of the Board of Directors at
Patriot American Investors and AFA Protective Systems. Mr. Mack was
graduated from Adelphi University with a degree in History and Business
Administration.
Mr. Mack serves as a member of the board of
directors at the Jewish Theological Seminary, a national board member for
the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, chairman of the board of
directors of the Northeast Region of AIPAC, a member of the board of
directors of the Israel Policy Forum, a
member of the board of directors of the 92nd Street Y, and a member
of the board of directors of the New York
Jewish Community Relations Council.
For over a decade, the Institute for Public
Affairs has sponsored an acclaimed Congressional summer internship program
that sends the best and the brightest of our college students to Capitol
Hill. Proceeds from this evening
will help endow, in perpetuity, a number of paid internship slots
bearing Senator Lautenberg's name for interns
to serve in the offices of senators and
representatives from New Jersey.
