Dear Friend,
Following an extensive and thorough search process, the Board of Directors of Jewish World Watch extends an enthusiastic welcome to our new Executive Director, Serena Oberstein! Serena has a rich and varied background leading social justice agencies, managing nonprofit operations, serving as Los Angeles City Ethics Commission President and as Special Assistant to the Mayor of Los Angeles, and consulting on nonprofits’ strategic growth and capacity building. Her vision and passion for the mission of JWW caused her to stand out in a field of exceptionally well-qualified candidates. As we celebrate four years of accomplishments by retiring Executive Director Susan Freudenheim, and wish her much fulfillment and joy, we know that Serena will take us to new heights. Please read the coverage below for more information about this exciting news.
As always, thank you for your interest in and support of JWW’s mission to assist vulnerable populations whose lives have been impacted by genocide, mass atrocities and, now, COVID-19.
With wishes for your good health,
Diana Buckhantz and Jane Z. Cohen
Jewish World Watch Board Co-chairs
