JFRC Annual Meeting & 2021 Board of Trustees Installations

Community Meeting Nov 15.png

Join us for an inspiring evening as we look to the future of the Jewish Federation of Raleigh-Cary.

The Zoom will open up 15 minutes early to give everyone a chance to get logged in before we begin.

  • Eric Fingerhut, President and CEO of the Jewish Federations of North America (JFNA), will introduce the new Board.

    • Prior to his appointment at JFNA, Mr. Fingerhut served as the President and CEO of Hillel International where he was able to double student engagement and fundraising. His emphasis on recruiting, training and retaining top talent, and on building a data and performance driven organization, have become models for the non-profit sector.

  • Mark Davis, North Carolina’s first Jewish Supreme Court Judge, will install the new board.

  • After serving the Jewish Federation of Raleigh Cary for the last 20 years, Barry Schwartz will be retiring at the end of the year. We will honor and celebrate Barry for his incredible dedication.

  • Lastly, we will be introducing the new Executive Director for the Jewish Federation of Raleigh-Cary!

 Due to COVID-19, this free community event will be held online via Zoom and all attendees must register in advance.

Zoom info will be provided upon registration.
