The Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations (CoP; often referred to as the Presidents' Conference) is a non-profit organization that describes itself as "a central address for key American, Israeli and other world leaders to consult on issues of critical concern to the Jewish community. " Currently comprising 51 national Jewish organizations, the Conference meets relatively infrequently to make major statements or meet with important leaders. The Conference was founded to develop a consensus voice among various Jewish organizations when dealing with the executive branch, and to promote the State of Israel in the United States; those remain its primary task. The Conference does not draft comprehensive policies, nor does it do conventional lobbying; these are done, respectively, by the Jewish Council for Public Affairs and by the American Israel Public Affairs Committee.
