Membership & Programming
Our Membership and Programming team help synagogue leaders create and maintain strong and connected congregational communities. They provide professional staff and lay leaders with resources to communicate effectively, innovate and brainstorm as they design their synagogue program calendars. They also provide guidance on membership growth, retention and volunteer appreciation.
