James Edmund Datri, who sang with the Boys Chorus from 1977 to 1982, has had a dynamic career spanning politics, law, and advertising.
​
Jim began his career in the political arena, and at a young age rose to become Executive Director of the Democratic Caucus in the U.S. House of Representatives. During his years in politics, Jim was named five times to Roll Call's "Fabulous Fifty" list of the 50 most influential and powerful strategists on Capitol Hill.

Jim then had a successful career as an attorney, becoming a partner at two major law firms: first at Manatt, Phelps & Phillips; then at McDermott Will & Emery, one of the world's largest law firms.

Jim next moved into the world of advertising and media, and is currently President and CEO of the American Advertising Federation (AAF), which operates a host of initiatives and centers across the nation including the Advertising Hall of Fame in New York City, the Advertising Hall of Achievement in New York and Beverly Hills, the Institute for Advertising Ethics in Missouri, the Mosaic Center on Multiculturalism in Washington, D.C., and the American Advertising Awards. Under Jim's leadership, the AAF has achieved record levels of revenue, growth, and expansion.

Jim sits on the board of directors of The Washington Ballet, the Advertising Educational Foundation, and The Ad Council; the advisory board of the Annapolis Film Festival; and formerly served as Vice Chair of the Harvard Law School Annual Fund.

A sailor, he is a member of the Bellport Bay Yacht Club, and the Great South Bay Yacht Racing Association.

Jim received his B.A. from the University of California, Santa Cruz, where he was a University of California Regents Scholar; and his J.D. from Harvard Law School.
