JF&CS is a truly remarkable, dynamic agency, dedicated to uplifting people while being rooted in Jewish values. We transform lives by opening the door for individuals to discover their own power to fulfill the promise of their potential.

Serving as CEO of JF&CS has been the honor of a lifetime. I have been strengthened by the unwavering dedication of our extraordinary Staff, Board, Past Presidents, and the wider community. This agency is bigger than any one of us, and it thrives because we stand on the shoulders of those who came before; Jewish Atlanta is vibrant, resilient, and generous, and JF&CS is proud to be at its heart.

As I pass the torch to you, I do so with profound gratitude. Thank you for stepping into this role and for embracing the responsibility of leading this incredible legacy. Your experience as CEO of Hands On Atlanta, coupled with your years of thoughtful service on our Board, have prepared you well for this moment. I offer my wholehearted support to you and your leadership team as you guide JF&CS forward—championing growth, innovation, and sustainability to secure its bright future.

Please know that I am your forever partner and champion.
