Jacob Baime ICC

CEO, Israel on Campus Coalition (ICC)

Jacob Baime Icc has led the Israel on Campus Coalition through more than a decade of student programming and national gatherings. He became chief executive officer in 2013. ICC was founded in 2002 and includes professional staff and more than 40 partner organizations. It supports pro-Israel students across political affiliations and works with both Jewish and non-Jewish students on college campuses. His position connects the coalition’s regular campus operations with public programs that bring students and partner groups together.

A recurring part of the coalition’s calendar is the National Leadership Summit in Washington. In August 2026, the event met at the Grand Hyatt Washington under the theme “American. Zionist. Proud.” More than 800 students attended, and overall participation exceeded 1,200. The gathering had a waiting list and included speakers from government, writing, and other areas of public life.

Jacob closed the 2026 Summit in conversation with Omer Shem Tov, a freed hostage. He also spoke about bringing pro-Israel students from Democratic and Republican backgrounds together for constructive conversations. The following Summit is scheduled for August 8 to 10, 2027, in Washington, D.C. ICC plans to continue its annual gathering of students and national participants.

Away from the Summit, ICC supports campus work through Regional Directors, polling, and a National Operations Center available day and night. In 2025-26, its staff engaged 316 campuses and made 362 visits. The coalition awarded 697 microgrants at 167 campuses, supported 255 students in leadership races, and helped students secure 253 opinion and broadcast placements. ICC also reported 2.97 billion impressions through its own channels during that year, reflecting a different measure of communication activity.
