Each year brings fresh challenges and new opportunities. Working together with staff and volunteers, and utilizing their diverse talents, the board strives to serve the Jewish community - both here and in Israel, and to help secure an inclusive and active community for years to come.
Our board is committed to the success of coordinated fund raising, community-wide programming, family and community services, and educational activities for every stage in life.
