“As National Commander, my focus this year will be on expanding our outreach, reinforcing our veteran advocacy, and building on the JWV’s proud tradition of standing firm against hatred, bigotry, and antisemitism,” Ginsburg stated. “We have a unique opportunity to strengthen our organization and ensure that the voices of all veterans are heard, honored, and supported.”

He held multiple leadership positions including Department Commander for the JWV Department of New York following 33 years as a Soldier in the US Army. He served both in the states and overseas. Gary Ginsburg retired in the rank of Command Sergeant Major culminating with three assignments at brigade and battalion levels of command.

Nationally, he serves on the JWV National Executive Committee and has been an active member of several key committees, including as an action officer for the Constitution & Bylaws, Membership, and Information Technology Committees. He also chairs the National Convention Credentialing and Registration Committee and leads efforts to update vital organization documents. At the regional level, Stevens served as Department of TALO Commander from 2018 to 2020 and chaired their Membership Committee. Locally, he has held multiple leadership roles in Maurice Kubby Post 749. At NMAJMH, Stevens has served on the Board of Directors and contributed to the Programs and Exhibits Committee.

“I am humbled and honored to serve as the National Vice Commander in support of the longest serving veterans’ organization in the United States. This year, I’m eager to support JWV in their mission to support veterans and combat antisemitism wherever and whenever it occurs,” stated Stevens.

Stevens began his military career in February 1974 as an E-1 and was assigned as a HAWK Missile Battery Launcher Crewman. Over the next twelve years, he was promoted to Sergeant First Class (E-7).
