Jewish Startups and Very Small Organizations

This peer-led affinity group will provide a space to discuss the opportunities and challenges of growing new organizations* in the Jewish communal world. Initially facilitated by Matt Fieldman, Co-Founder, Rekindle, participants will share tangible advice and support each other through the ups and downs of running new, entrepreneurial organizations. Join fellow small organizational leaders to grow your network, commiserate together, and exchange best practices.

*This affinity group is specifically for leaders in very small Jewish organizations (under five employees) or relatively new organizations (under five years).

Managing Conflict from the Middle

This peer-led affinity group is for middle managers* in Jewish communal workplaces. Management is challenging, and middle managers can be caught between differing attitudes and perspectives among leadership, supervisees, and peers. Managing Conflict from the Middle will provide a confidential and supportive space for managers to explore how we maintain professionalism and strong working relationships while navigating various dynamics within our workplaces.

*Middle managers for the purposes of this affinity group are those who supervise at least one person directly, and who are not part of the Executive/C-Suite leadership team.  

Non-Jews in Jewish Communal Workplaces

This group intends to provide a sense of pride and connection for the many non-Jewish professionals who enrich and strengthen the Jewish communal field. It is co-facilitated by JPro's Deirdre Munley, Chief Strategy Officer, and author of the article "Non-Jews in Jewish Communal Workplaces" and Laura Sullivan, Chief Operating Officer. Sessions offer opportunities for professional development and networking.
