He was a chairman of the 1984 Summer Olympics organizing committee, and is a director of the Amateur Athletic Foundation. The Paul Ziffren Sports Resource Center, a Los Angeles building, is named for him. In 1960, he was chairman of the Democratic national convention.

“I’m proud be have been the first person to receive a “Gold D” from old Davenport for scholastic excellence,” Ziffren said.
