International Biennial Convention
Our international biennial convention met from December 6 to 10 in Cherry Hill, New Jersey.
Read Rabbi Steven Wernick’s speech as he was installed as our executive vice president and CEO, and Richard Skolnik’s speech as he was installed as our new international president.
The convention was widely covered in the Jewish press; you can read about it in the New York Jewish Week, the Philadelphia Jewish Exponent, and the Forward, and we blogged about it ourselves.
We passed our updated bylaws and new resolutions.
