Program Planning Assistance
BE ADVISED: Recently there have been some Division changes and we want to clear up any confusion you may have about which Division to turn to. Jewish, Zionist or advocacy programs will be under the umbrella of the Education and Advocacy Division. All other programs including Health & Wellness, book clubs, opportunities for new members, professional councils and programs designed to appeal to young women and others come under the Engagement Division. The Philanthropy Division will continue to offer programs specifically for annual givers and/or major donors. Just know, whatever Division you turn to for guidance and support, division leaders will make sure the people who can best provide assistance are notified.
