CEO's Corner - July

Susan Frazer, CEO

Dear Friends,

As America marks its 250th anniversary, we’re reminded that enduring communities are built by people who step forward to help others. Across generations and different backgrounds, they share their time, talents, and compassion to help others live with dignity and respect.

That spirit is reflected at JFS Silicon Valley as we welcome five new members to our Board of Directors: Victor Adint, Barbara Beyda, Molly Jozer, Sandee Kiehl, and Darian Rosengard.

Silicon Valley continues to evolve, and so do the needs of the people we serve. Our Board brings together diverse perspectives, professional expertise, and lived experiences that help us embrace new ideas and ensure JFS remains a resilient organization. While each of our new board members brings a unique background, they all share a commitment to the values that have guided JFS for generations: repairing the world, welcoming the stranger, and respect and dignity for all. Together, they will help strengthen our organization so we can continue serving our community.

I invite you to get to know our new board members and learn what inspired them to join JFS and help shape our future.

With gratitude, 

Susan Frazer

President & CEO, Jewish Family Services of Silicon Valley ✡️
