dc.description	George M. Israel, III, was named President and Chief Executive Officer of the Ferst Foundation for Childhood Literacy (FFCL) in July 2011. From 2002 to 2010 he served as president and CEO of the Georgia Chamber of Commerce. During this time, membership levels topped 4,000, the Georgia Chamber saw near perfect lobbying efforts on behalf of business at the State Capital, and Mr. Israel led the Georgia Chamber through a transformative reorganization known as the “Georgia Initiative”. Prior to joining the Georgia Chamber, Israel served as a chief executive both in government and business. At just 31 years old, he was elected Mayor of Macon, Georgia’s sixth largest city, and he held this position from 1979 until 1987. Israel rose to prominence in the national Republican party after being elected President of the Republican Mayors and Local Officials in 1981. He was appointed by President Reagan to serve on the Executive Committee of the Republican National Committee in 1982 and to chair the President’s reelection campaign. During his time as Mayor, he earned a reputation for being fiscally conservative, fair minded, and of the highest integrity – qualities that led him to a series of leadership positions in real estate and healthcare after leaving office. Israel has also served on the Board of Directors for a number of organizations including the Georgia Allies, the Georgia Partnership for Excellence in Education and the Georgia Cities Foundation. He is a Board Advisor for the Georgia Department of Economic Development and serves as a member of the Georgia Military Affairs Coordinating Committee. He is an active member of the United States Chamber of Commerce. Mr Israel, has over 30 years of leadership experience in government, business, and the non-profit sector.
