The election of the y o u n g Omahan to head the international group has many interesting sidelights. AZA was founded by Omahan Sam Beber, and the first AZA chapter, AZA 1, was established in Omaha in J924. Ben Barkin, who now heads the highest policy-making body for BBYO served as Assistant Executive Director of the National AZA office in O m a h a from I!»:i7-.'i(l. It was d u r i n g those years that Mr. Barkin hecame a close personal friend of the late Harold Zelinsky who was an active leader in AZA and B'nai B'rith activities. Mr. Barkin was the keynote speaker in Starlight this year in the activities proceeding Edward's installation. Edward represents the fust son of an AZA alumnus to hold the top office.
