How did you first get involved with The Associated? After graduating from law school, I knew I needed to broaden my social network and meet like-minded young professionals. I quickly joined YLC and became acquainted with some really great folks, many of whom I am still in touch with today. YLC also gave me an opportunity to observe the JCC Board for one year. It was a board full of intelligent and thoughtful leaders. I really enjoyed the experience.
You recently rotated off as Lawyers’ Division Co-Chair. What other leadership roles have you had or will you hold within The Associated system? I have served on the JCC’s Board of Directors for the last 10 years and am now the 1st Vice Chair. I will take on the role of Chair of the Board in 2021. I’m honored for this opportunity to lead this dynamic organization and to follow in the footsteps of giants who have had this role before me.
Prior to that, I was co-chair of The Associated’s reinvigorated Jewish Professional Women’s group and a committee member on the Human Resources Steering Committee.
