WASHINGTON (JTA) — Betsy Berns Korn, AIPAC’s designated next president, is a woman who started a sports media business after she served as an intern for the lobby.

As is the tradition, the current president of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, Mort Fridman, speaking Sunday to the lobby’s annual conference, announced the board’s selection for president as of next year. He named Korn, 51, noting that she worked at AIPAC in 1989 as an intern. She was most recently a vice president of the organization.

The company Berns formed in 1996, the year she married Douglas Korn, BVision Sportsmedia, publishes books and other media.

In 1999 she authored “The Female Fan Guide to Pro Football,” a book, according to its Amazon blurb that uses “simple and easy to understand language” so that “Husbands AND wives, boyfriends AND girlfriends can now enjoy their Sunday afternoons together.”
