Earlier this week, more than 100
of the agency’s most dedicated supporters gathered for the 2012 JFS { Board
Installation. At the event, which was held at
American Jewish University on July 9th, outgoing board members were
formally recognized for their service, while new members were installed.
Outgoing
President David O. Levine was presented with a special engraved tzedakah box as
a token of appreciation for his commitment and passion to the agency, and new
President Terry Friedman spoke to the crowd about his goals and perspectives
for the agency.
“I am honored to help lead Jewish Family Service and its
Board of Directors to support the critical programs and services of JFS that
provide a safety net for those with nowhere else to turn,” said Friedman. “As
the Los Angeles
area continues to feel the impact of the economic crisis, the assistance
provided by JFS is absolutely essential to the continued health and well-being
of the most vulnerable individuals and families in our community.”
After dinner, Bob Blumenfield,
California State Assemblymember, 40th District, gave the keynote
address, and LA County Supervisor Zev Yaroslavsky presided over the
installation ceremony.
JFS is grateful to have the
support and commitment of our Executive Board Members. We wish you and your
loved ones a wonderful weekend. Shabbat Shalom!
