Erika Neuberg

Name:
Erika Neuberg

AIPAC Role:
Member of AIPAC's Board of Directors

Professional Profile/Associations:

AIPAC national board member and Arizona-based clinical psychologist who served as Independent Chair of the Arizona Independent Redistricting Commission (2021–2022), where she held tie-breaking power over political boundaries that will shape Arizona elections through 2030. Her father, Gene Schupak, served on AIPAC's national board from 1996 until his death in 2008 and was National Development Chair from 2002 to 2004. Neuberg served as former chair of AIPAC's Phoenix Regional Board. A former Republican who re-registered as independent, she was unanimously selected by partisan commissioners despite her AIPAC ties. Graduate of the Wexner Heritage Fellowship, a leadership program for Jewish communal leaders. Married to Steven Neuberg, Foundation Professor and former Chair of Psychology at Arizona State University; founder and CEO of Psych For Life.

Accountability:

As a member of AIPAC's Board of Directors, Erika Neuberg bears individual legal responsibility for the organization's conduct. Under U.S. nonprofit law, board members hold fiduciary duties to ensure organizational compliance with applicable legal standards, implement oversight systems for core activities, and respond to credible information about organizational wrongdoing. In Stern v. Lucy Webb Hayes (1974), the federal district court held that nonprofit directors who fail to supervise organizational decisions breach their fiduciary obligations. In In re Lemington Home for the Aged (3d Cir. 2015), the Third Circuit upheld $2.25 million in damages against nonprofit directors who ignored red flags and failed to exercise reasonable oversight. The information in these profiles is drawn primarily from AIPAC's most recent IRS Form 990, supplemented by publicly available sources including news reports, official announcements, and public records. As a 501(c)(4) social welfare organization, AIPAC is legally required to file Form 990 annually with the Internal Revenue Service, and these filings are public documents.

However, IRS regulations allow organizations up to eleven months after their fiscal year ends to submit these forms, meaning publicly available data typically lags by approximately one year. This inherent delay underscores why AIPAC—like most major organizations of its size and influence—should maintain a current, public-facing leadership page identifying its board members and senior executives. The absence of such transparency from AIPAC necessitates this project. We are committed to accuracy and will update these profiles as new information becomes available.
