Ohio Jewish Communities - President & CEO
Founded in 1982, and now known nationally as a standard-bearer of state Jewish government affairs organizations, OJC is the bipartisan statewide government advocacy, public affairs, and community relations voice for Ohio’s eight Jewish Federations and their network of some 150 nonprofit agencies. While OJC often leads on lobbying and public policy related needs, it is not the “only arrow in the advocacy quiver” and OJC’s political capital must be carefully used.

He/she sets strategic priorities, crafts and executes a lobbying “game plan” to benefit Ohio’s Jewish communities, Federations and their beneficiary agencies.
