Al Jubitz has been invited to speak at more than 80 Rotary clubs, conferences and community events over the last five years to share his vision that peace is possible and that Rotarians can play a leading role. He has received appreciation and encouragement from Rotarians and general audiences that his message is the right cause at the right time.

A native Oregonian, Al received his BS degree from Yale University in 1966 and earned his MBA from the University of Oregon School of Business in 1968. Al retired from the family business (Jubitz Corporation) after a career spanning 34 years. Al has served on boards of both not-for-profit organizations and for-profit businesses.   Al is President and founder of the Jubitz Family Foundation which directs funding to organizations that foster peacebuilding, steward the environmental and support early childhood education.

In 2010, Al and his wife Nancy were recognized nationally by United Way USA with the Tocqueville Society Award for their ongoing community commitment and support. He is a Senior Fellow of the American Leadership Forum of Oregon and also serves on the Leadership Councils of Yale University School of Forestry and Environmental Studies, Portland Children’s Museum and the National Advisory Board of Environmental Defense Fund.
