Stu Seltzer serves on the Board and Executive Committee of the Westchester Jewish Council. He lives in Mamaroneck and is a proud member of Westchester Jewish Center (the other WJC!).   At WJC he’s best known as the Ba’al Tekiah, sounding the shofar everywhere from assisted living facilities and nursery schools to public schools and, yes, out on the Long Island Sound at sunrise during an annual Rosh Hashanah kayak gathering with 30+ paddlers. Stu has held numerous leadership roles at UJA, including a three-year term as chair of the Westchester Campaign. A Wexner Heritage graduate, he loves to blend activity with philanthropy: five completions of the five-day, 250-mile ALYN Wheels of Love ride in Israel, and the Ride For The Living in Poland, the one-day ride from Auschwitz to JCC Krakow.

 

Professionally, Stu is the president of Seltzer Licensing Group, a 26-year-old global licensing agency with offices in NYC and LA. A specialist in brand licensing, partnership marketing, and strategic alliances, he has helped analyze, craft, and secure partnerships for clients including Unilever, NBC’s The Office, and Scotts Miracle-Gro. He’s also an award-winning adjunct professor at New York University, where he’s been teaching for more than 20 years, and co-author of Brand Licensing For Dummies, released this past summer. A frequent speaker on the global conference circuit, Stu is known for engaging, practical seminars that demystify licensing.  He was also inducted into the International Licensing Hall of Fame.

 

Stu is a graduate of Lehigh University and holds an MBA from Columbia Business School. He and his wife, Danielle, have been married since 1992 and have three children: Jacob (and daughter-in-law Mary), Noah, and Sabrina.
