Marvin Stenge – President

Marvin was born in Montreal; both his late parents were holocaust survivors which gave him the early impetus to want to live in Israel. His other strong influence came after spending six months on Kibbutz as a volunteer during the Yom Kippur War followed by an additional year on the same Kibbutz one year later. Marvin has five children and many grandchildren, all of whom live in Israel. Marvin recently retired from a long career in real estate development and management. Marvin is very excited to be part of the new AACI as he very much wants to contribute in any way he can to the welfare of the State of Israel and its citizens.
