Kissinger, Former National Security Advisor and Secretary of State; and Professor Stanley Fischer, Governor of the Bank of Israel.

"Being selected as the Israeli Presidential Conference's international media relations partner even once was a tremendous honor for our team," said Glenn Jasper, senior partner and managing director of Finn Partners Israel. "But it is far more gratifying to know that our work was respected enough to be invited back for a second year of partnership. Our team is excited to get to work and exceed our client's expectations."
