Board
Jewish Federation of the Bluegrass’ Board members are volunteers who commit to a one- or two-year term, regular meetings, and many special projects. They assist with maintaining our budgets, setting goals for the organization, and serving as representatives of Jewish organizations throughout our community. Our Board members also serve on Federation committees, assist at events, and volunteer in many capacities throughout our local Jewish community.
Jewish Federation of the Bluegrass proudly acknowledges our 2021-2022 Board of Directors for its services to Federation and our wider community.
