Tuesday, May 17 | 11:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. ET
Our community organizations are committed to pursuing diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in both professional and volunteer structures. Boards of directors lead the way in its pursuit and prioritizing change.

We will hear about their experiences, and how they continue to champion this important work.
CJP is committed to bringing folks closer to Israel and so we’re pleased to share that there are now nonstop flights from Boston to Tel Aviv via Delta Air Lines and El Al Airlines. This is an exciting and convenient option that can help foster new connections between local community members and Israel’s history, people, business, and culture. Please share the news and spread the word.

Building on the success of our convenings for Jewish nonprofit professionals that we launched last year for development professionals and CEOs, we are expanding to the areas of finance and human resources. These convenings provide opportunities for professionals to gather (virtually) and discuss timely topics, share knowledge, seek advice, and build relationships with colleagues in related professional areas.
We encourage you to invite your colleagues to join, and welcome your participation to help shape these groups, suggest discussion topics, and ask questions.
If you have questions or want to offer input into the design of these or other convenings of Jewish nonprofit professionals, please contact Kimberlee Schumacher, VP of Partnerships & Services, at kimberlees@cjp.org.
We have created Google Groups (also known as Listservs) in order to enable HR, development, and finance professionals to reach out to colleagues and counterparts with questions, comments, ideas, and resources. You do not need a Gmail address to join. To join, please contact Glen Davis (HR professionals), Chrissy Malon (development professionals) or Mary Grassi (finance professionals).
