This past summer, I celebrated my 60th birthday. Honestly, there were many things about turning 60 that felt strange. My mother told me that “60 is just a number.” I thought that that was easy for her to say since she is 89. But this momentous birthday led me to reflect a great deal on one central question: What is my legacy?
I became the President and CEO of our Federation eight years ago because I was and still am deeply committed to building and ensuring a strong and vibrant Jewish community for generations to come. I hope that my contribution to this deeply important goal will be a part of my legacy.
My colleagues (laypeople and professional) are all now asking the legacy question. Like you, we are all committed to the future of our community.
To learn about how we are putting your values in action every day and receive updates like this, join our mailing list.
I am now asking two more questions:
- Can we talk to you about our shared goal?
- How can your legacy play a role in the Jewish future?
We look forward to sitting down to answer these questions together.
Thank you in advance.
Jay Sanderson
President & CEO
