Bruce Barrett is Aipac’s Regional Director for the Mountain West, a half million square mile region in the Inland West. It’s a land of sage brush, stunning mountains, wildlife, rivers, cattle ranches and wheat farms. And it is also the home to some of America’s powerful members of the Congress of the United States. In this region Bruce Barrett carries on unique work supporting a strong US-Israel relationship, doing the work of AIPAC.

Bruce will present his story, and talk about his work. From speaking at a Baptist church on an Indian Reservation, to countering anti-Israel propoganda from White Supremacists and those with isolationist tendancies, from programming for Mormon audiences, to meeting tiny Jewish communities in isolated towns, Bruce has met many fascinating challenges. His territory includes Montana, Wyoming, Idaho, Utah, plus North and South Dakota .

Bruce is a diverse individual who has hosted a national outdoor program on ESPN’s fly fishing block. He plays in a Country Western Band in his spare time. His presentations blend humor, interesting stories, and up to date information about Aipac’s work, challenges and future. Bruce is also a filmmaker and a key player in Aipac film production, travelling to Israel frequently and filming in the US, Europe, and the Middle East.
