Jeffrey Mazzella Named Executive Director of Center for Individual Freedom

 Alexandria, Va — The Center for Individual Freedom (CFIF) today is pleased to announce the appointment of Jeffrey L. Mazzella as Executive Director effective August 1, 2003. �

For the past two and a half years, Mr. Mazzella has headed up CFIF�s legislative and public affairs department where he was responsible for the development and implementation of the organization�s legislative and regulatory agenda.� He has been CFIF�s chief representative before Congress, the Executive Branch and state and local governments across the country on issues involving taxation, judicial confirmations, energy, technology and the First Amendment, among others.

�CFIF has come a long way since its founding in 1998,� said Mazzella.� �I look forward to building on its reputation as an organization that gets the job done.� The Constitution and principles of our Founding Fathers all too often get lost in the public policy debate.� My job at CFIF is to ensure that doesn�t happen,� continued Mazzella.

�It is an honor to assume this leadership role and be entrusted with strengthening our organization�s voice in the name of individual freedoms and rights protected by the U.S. Constitution,� Mazzella concluded.

Mr. Mazzella will be taking over for Eric Schippers who has led CFIF as Executive Director since its founding.� After ten years in leadership positions in the non-profit sector, Mr. Schippers will be moving on to future challenges in the private sector. �Mr. Schippers will remain involved in the group�s efforts as a member of the Board of Directors.�

�Jeff has done a fabulous job in developing and carrying CFIF�s message since he joined our team more than two years ago,� said Schippers.�� �I have always been very proud of the work we�ve done as a constitutional advocacy organization and know that CFIF will be in good hands with Jeff at the helm,� Schippers concluded.

The Center for Individual Freedom is a 501 (c)(4) non-partisan constitutional advocacy group that fights to protect and defend individual freedoms and rights in the legal, legislative and educational arenas.
