Candidates for WJC electionsFour people declared themselves as a candiate for the position of WJC President and one for Chairman of the Governong Board. Three of those standing for President - Mendel Kaplan, Ronald Lauder and Einat Wilf - made presentations to the Executive Committee meeting held in New York on 10 June 2007. After hearing the three candidates the WJC Committee held an open vote, with 4 votes being cast for Mr Kaplan and 11 for Mr Lauder.
