Jeffrey A. Greenbaum, managing director of Frankfurt Kurnit Klein & Selz, has been elected the next global president of the Global Advertising Lawyers Alliance (GALA).
A collection of leading advertising lawyers and firms from around the world, GALA provides resources to individuals and corporations interested in finding solutions to problems involving complex legal issues affecting advertisers and marketers. Greenbaum will replace outgoing GALA head Douglas Wood, who led the organization since its inception 12 years ago.
“I am very honored to be assuming the role of GALA global president,” Greenbaum said. “I want to thank Doug Wood for his leadership over the past dozen years and the members who have put their confidence in me as GALA’s new leader. GALA is a tremendous organization. It has been a terrific resource for advertisers and marketers worldwide and I look forward to helping carry on its tradition of excellence over the next three years.”
In addition to being managing partner of Frankfurt Kurnit, Greenbaum is also a partner in Frankfurt Kurnit’s Advertising, Marketing, and Public Relations Group. He is also a director of the Brand Activation Association (formerly, the Promotion Marketing Association), and has previously served as chair of the Committee on Consumer Affairs of the New York City Bar.
Greenbaum formally began his three-year term as president of GALA on January 15.
