The success of an organization can be directly linked to the caliber of people associated with the endeavor. The Friends of Zion Museum and Heritage Center has retained the highest level of men and women for its board of directors. The first international chair of FOZ was Israel’s late president Shimon Peres. He worked tirelessly to promote the purpose of the museum—to build bridges between Israel and other countries worldwide and to acknowledge those who have supported his people and his country. FOZ approached another equally qualified man and asked him to assume the role of chairman of the Israeli board. He is Gen. Yossi Peled.
