Founded in 1913 in response to an escalating climate of antisemitism and bigotry, its essential mission hasn't changed in more than 100 years: to stop the defamation of the Jewish people and to secure justice and fair treatment to all. Today, ADL continues to fight all forms of hate with the same vigor and passion. ADL is the first call when acts of antisemitism occur. A global leader in exposing extremism, delivering anti-bias education, and fighting hate online, ADL's ultimate goal is a world in which no group or individual suffers from bias, discrimination or hate. ADL's CEO and National Director, Jonathan Greenblatt-an accomplished leader and entrepreneur in the corporate, public, and nonprofit sectors-was recruited to the organization in July 2015. He has injected new energy and brought a bold vision to the agency. Under Jonathan's leadership, ADL is transforming itself, upgrading its capabilities, leveraging innovation, building partnerships, and pioneering new horizons. The ADL Florida Office serves the entire state of Florida and is part of the Southern Division of ADL. The Region supports a multi-faceted educational, community relations, and legal approach to combat antisemitism and hate of all kinds, promote diversity, equity and inclusion and build bridges of understanding between communities. The Florida Office is comprised of approximately 15 regional staff members and is housed in Boca Raton. The office is supported by a Regional Board, as well as a robust young leadership program.
