International  Leadership

ZBT’s board of directors is called the Supreme Council. The Council is comprised of at least 10 alumni brothers who govern the direction of the Fraternity; support the mission of the Fraternity by working with undergraduates as advisors or mentors; attend Fraternity events such as regional programs, convention, and alumni events; and work to improve the overall Fraternity through service on various committees.

The Fraternity proudly announces the election of Brothers Laurence A. Bolotin, M.Ed., CAE, Alpha Zeta (University of Florida) 2001, and Scott E. Silberfein, Esq., Epsilon Theta (University of Delaware) 1994, to the Council for the 2022-2024 biennium.

Laurence A. Bolotin, M.Ed., CAE, Alpha Zeta (University of Florida) 2001

Brother Bolotin is Executive Director of the Loyola University Chicago Alumni Association. Previously, he was Executive Director of the Greater Chicago Area office of the American Jewish Committee (AJC) and Executive Director/CEO of the Fraternity.

His volunteer roles outside of ZBT include Vice President of the Indiana University Hillel Board of Directors and Mentor at the Spertus Institute of Jewish Learning & Leadership.

Brother Bolotin plans to serve as an outspoken advocate for the fraternity experience through his Council role.

“Ever since I joined the fraternity, every important decision and moment in my life has been because of ZBT. The courage, leadership lessons, and responsibilities ZBT has taught me have guided me for nearly 25 years,” he said.

Brother Bolotin is based in Chicago. He is married and has one daughter.

Scott E. Silberfein, Esq., Epsilon Theta (University of Delaware) 1994

Brother Silberfein is an attorney with Moses & Singer LLP in New York City.

He has been a long-time ZBT volunteer, serving as a director for both the Zeta Beta Tau Foundation and ZBT National Housing as well as a Chapter Advisor for the Epsilon Theta Chapter.

Brother Silberfein said he hopes to positively impact the lives of current brothers, both undergraduate and alumni.

“I became re-engaged with ZBT more than 10 years ago and since then ZBT has continued to shape my life as a leader, as a volunteer and as husband, dad, and professional,” he said.

Brother Silberfein is based in Scarsdale, New York.
