Meet the team who made International Convention a reality.

The International Convention Steering Team, consisting of more than 300 Alephs and B'nai B'rith Girls from around the world, has worked tirelessly over the past few months planning programs, logistics, and experiences for the thousands of members coming. We cannot thank this stellar group enough for making this event better than ever.

94th Grand Board of the Aleph Zadik Aleph and 74th International Board of the B'nai B'rith Girls

The Grand Board of the Aleph Zadik Aleph and the International Board of the B’nai B’rith Girls lead the movement’s 50 countries forward while supporting more than 600 chapters across 700 communities to be the strongest homes they can be for Jewish teens worldwide.

Administrative Assistants

The AZA & BBG IC Administrative Assistants support the IC Coordinators in every programmatic piece of convention. From stewarding stakeholders and inviting speakers, to managing the team facilitating almost 60 leads tracks, these Alephs and BBGs make convention happen. Thousands of hours of zoom calls later, they’ve built an incredible program.

ILN Leadership

The ILN Leadership Team consists of dozens of captains, coordinators, managers and chairs who have leadership roles in every corner of IC programming. From the AZA & BBG press corps managers to the Chapter Showcase Captains, these teens are building, shaping, and documenting every minute of IC.

Steering Committee

The Steering Committee is the heart of the BBYO International Convention experience and responsible for executing some of our most meaningful moments. Every Showcase program that inspires experiences at home, every Oneg that creates space for exploring new passions, and every  memory that’s shared is a product of the drive, passion, and experience of this stellar team of Alephs and BBGs.
