About Samantha Von Ende, J.D., M.A.

Synthetic thinker, insightful team-builder, and strategic social innovator with an uncanny ability to “see the floor”___Joined NJAC in ‘24 —> WHAT’S THAT?The Nat’l Jewish Advocacy Center is a law and legal advisory firm prioritizing strategic impact litigation to expose and uproot antisemitism, here and abroad. In that pursuit, NJAC also advances policy reforms to equalize anti-discrimination protections for Jews, advises government bodies regarding the sources and solutions for modern/surging antisemitism, and prepares the legal professionals and advocates of tomorrow. NJAC works for the present, with the future in mind — advancing law and nudging justice.Strategic Impact Litigation • Instititute for Legal Coordination • Legislative Advocacy • Thought Leadership • Trainings & Toolkits • Academic Instruction ___Before: Diplomatic Advisor, Non-Profit Executive, Academic Research Fellow (Scholar/Instructor), Law ClerkProf’l experience: 15+yrs (🎓J.D., M.A., B.S. + ABD)— law school instructor, const’l design consultant, policy advisor.Prof’l strengths: policy analysis, diplomacy, academic affairs, research/analysis, project mgmt., team-building, strategic partnerships, branding & marketing, creative problem solving, teaching, public speaking, & writing for targeted audiences.___The academic, diplomatic, and advocacy interests at the heart of my scholarship center on promoting the rule of law, evaluating impacts in complex systems, and optimizing the future (for all) through design thinking, humanistic engagement, roles advising legal reformers and diplomats, and a multidisciplinary mindset.The foundation of my experience is academic and research-oriented, rooted, crucially, in pro-bono, teaching, coalition, and consulting work on the ground — across a number of contexts and continents.

Shared requirements of these fields include a talent for effectively distinguishing signal from noise, a drive to relate to others through dialogue & storytelling, and a passion for communicating ideas & organizing people around them._____This I Am.I am the grateful product of two vibrant, nourishing communities — but have been fortunate to call many places home.I am an idea-connoisseur & bridge-builder; an eager friend & avid adventurer.

  • Consulate General Of Israel To The Southeast
    Director Of Academic Affairs
    Consulate General Of Israel To The Southeast Oct 2021 - Nov 2022
    Atlanta, Georgia, Us
    Utilizing the various mechanisms of academic diplomacy—including conference and speaker event planning & promotion, campus policy reform & compliance, public engagement, multimedia content production & thought leadership, and program development—I joined the Israeli consulate with the charter initiative of entirely reconfiguring and restarting the academic affairs unit. In this managerial role, I set strategies and policies for my department, carefully undertake resource mapping and budgeting tasks, conceptualize and implement participatory and informative events that engage diverse audiences in various formats, and thoughtfully build relationships // sustain networks that bolster links between Israel and the U.S: southeast. The work, in these regards, requires extensive knowledge of Israeli (and SWANA-centric) history, media, society, culture, politics, economic development, innovation, and scholarship. In order to effectively launch and oversee such a varied array of worthwhile initiatives in the domain of academic affairs (as part of a small consulate team in Atlanta), I relied upon a suite of great communication skills, due diligence, motivated curiosity, fresh and synergistic thinking, trustworthy intuitions for public relations, capable project management, and frequent travel… primarily between the 7 states comprising the Consulate’s jurisdiction (i.e., North Carolina, South Carolina, Kentucky, Georgia, Mississippi, Alabama, and Tennessee). By effectively partnering and engaging with campuses, academic units, think tanks, and educational programs on a broad array of Israel-related topics, FIVE essential priorities are pursued: combatting antisemitism on campus, promoting intercultural exchange through extracurricular activities, broadening perspectives and horizons, safeguarding the integrity of educational values, and of course facilitating complex yet productive conversations about MENA politics and the Conflict.
