“It was an honour to be invited to join the Board this past June. As a committee member for a few years, I have seen how much impact the Foundation truly has on the Jewish community and beyond. As a wills and estates lawyer, I hope that I can bring my expertise about estate planning to my role at the Foundation and, similarly, I expect to learn things as a Board member that will help me in my professional practice. It is very important to me that the Foundation succeeds. In times when social service agencies and other charities are facing budget cuts and challenges, it is essential that communities like ours step forward to fill the gap. If we are successful as a Foundation, it will be easier for us to maintain a sense of community as we work together to sustain and enhance the programs and services we have grown to love and upon which we depend. I’m happy to be involved and I look forward to making a difference.”
