Friends of the Israel Defense Forces (FIDF) has announced the appointment of Alisa Chessler as the director of the Miami Chapter, effective immediately.
Chessler joins the FIDF family with a deep-rooted dedication to defending the Jewish State.
With a Master of Science degree in Marketing and dual bachelor’s degrees in Arts Management/Jewish Studies and Theatre/Spanish, Chessler’s lifelong passion for learning and philanthropy make her a valuable addition to the Miami Chapter.
“We are thrilled to welcome Alisa to the FIDF Miami chapter and look forward to working with her as we continue to support the courageous soldiers of the IDF,” said Sam Moshe, Miami Board chair.
After a career that has taken her across the globe, Chessler found her paradise in the vibrant community of South Florida. With an exceptional track record of achieving outstanding results, she has held multiple sales executive positions at prestigious companies in the science and healthcare industries, including Medtronic, Allergan, and Bristol-Myers Squibb.
In 2014, Chessler made a significant career shift to address the growing issue of antisemitism on college campuses. She founded her own nonprofit organization, implementing targeted initiatives that transformed the environment for Jewish students, fostering an atmosphere conducive to free speech and learning. Her effectiveness and results-oriented approach earned recognition within the community, leading her to collaborate with various prominent pro-Israel organizations.
Beyond her professional achievements, she has demonstrated leadership and dedication to building community and teaching tolerance throughout her life. She played a pivotal role as a founding member of a coalition for blacks and Jews in Charleston after the 1991 Crown Heights riots and serves on numerous advisory boards for organizations both in the United States and Israel, further exemplifying her commitment to fostering strong relationships and supporting impactful initiatives.
“We are delighted to welcome Alisa Chessler as the new director of the Miami Chapter,” said Brian Sarran, vice president, Southeast Region at FIDF. “Her passion for the IDF and her extensive leadership experience makes hr the ideal candidate to advance the mission of FIDF in Miami. We are confident that under her guidance, the Miami Chapter will flourish, making a lasting impact on the lives of IDF soldiers and the State of Israel.”
Chessler has instilled in her daughter, Golda, a profound love for Israel. In fact, Golda has enlisted in the IDF, making the commitment to protect and serve their beloved homeland as a Lone Soldier.
“There are many incredible organizations supporting the Jewish State, but none which support the young men and women who ensure that the integrity, security and sovereignty of Israel is maintained, like FIDF. Being appointed director for the Miami Chapter is truly serving the Jewish people worldwide and an incredible honor,” Chessler said.
