Professional Profile/Associations:
AIPAC Atlantic States Director, overseeing the organization's operations across the Northeast region including political advocacy and grassroots organizing. According to AIPAC's 2023 Form 990, received total compensation of $759,780, including $22,500 contribution to AIPAC's 457(f) supplemental executive retirement plan. Sachs has been among AIPAC's most highly compensated employees since at least 2016. Prior to AIPAC, worked at the Democratic National Committee, National Jewish Democratic Council, and Democratic Leadership Council, bringing extensive experience in Democratic Party politics and Jewish organizational work to the pro-Israel lobby. Attended The American College of Financial Services (1998–2000). Professional expertise includes community development, get-out-the-vote operations, policy development, and organizational management. Based in South Orange, New Jersey.
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.
