OP GHEATeS Cf
Attending an event or two in
the Jewish eommunity is one
thing, but beeoming an inspired
leader or board member is an
other. How do you jump in and
take your involvement to the
next level? For many young
Jewish leaders in the Queen
City, the answer is the Bernstein
Leadership Group.
Now entering its ninth elass,
the Donald H. and Barbara K.
Bernstein Leadership Develop
ment Group is an 18-month pro
gram of the Jewish Federation
that offers unique opportunities
to its partieipants, ineluding:
* An inside look at loeal Jew
ish ageneies and aeeess to their
lay and professional leaders
* Interaetion with renowned
national leaders
* The opportunity to develop
tangible leadership skills
* The fellowship of other
emerging leaders
Through monthly speakers
and diseussions over the eourse
of a year and a half, Bernstein
leaders beeome a tight-knit
group. By “graduation,” many
partieipants have developed
their interests in loeal Jewish
ageneies and have started down
a path to beeoming engaged
eommittee or board members.
