Mickey Kesselman has been named Executive Director of The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, Illinois Chapter.

The role Kesselman plays in his new post has special meaning to him and his family. His daughter, Rebecca, 18, succumbed to a brain tumor while the family was living in San Diego in the late 1980s. Although undergoing extensive treatment, Rebecca started a support group for teens and young adults with cancer, and upon her passing, Kesselman founded a non-profit foundation for these young people.

Kesselman assumes his position after serving five years as the Regional Director of the Jewish National Fund. Prior to that period, he was a private consultant specializing in strategic planning and turnaround opportunities for non profit and for profit groups.

Kesselman's varied career included a position as senior partner in the Chicago law firm of Epstein & Kesselman, where he served as the lead attorney for plaintiff Vietnam veterans in the celebrated Agent Orange case.
