FAIRFAX, VA – Today, Carolyn Berkowitz, president and CEO of the Association of Corporate Citizenship Professionals (ACCP), the nation’s leading advocate for corporate social impact professionals, released the following statement in reaction to the terrorist attacks on Israel and the ongoing war in Gaza:
“Over the past week, we watched in horror the brutal terrorist attacks and hostage taking in Israel, and the horrific loss of civilian lives in Gaza.
“ACCP unequivocally denounces terrorism and hate, here and around the world. Violence and antisemitism have no place in our society and are antithetical to our values as an association.

ACCP stands ready to support corporations as they work with their employees, partners, and communities to address the unfolding humanitarian crisis.”
