Our Team

At the Foundation, our board leadership and professional team exemplify the values we espouse as an organization: commitment, creativity, and innovation.

Many of us are Jewish overnight camp alumni ourselves, and we see how it has shaped our children's and our own lives. Our connection to FJC's mission and to the field is both personal and professional, deepening our devotion to our work everyday.
