Former Dallas Federation CEO Visits

On July 12, the UJFT was thrilled to host Gary Weinstein, a professional coach and fundraiser with 47 years of experience, including incredible success as the CEO of the Dallas Federation. Our lay leaders, CEOs, development professionals and staff from other agencies and synagogues, Women's Cabinet, Young Adult Division (YAD) and Hineni fellows enjoyed a day of workshops, trainings and seminars. Gary delivered a message to help our leaders understand the context of national and even global Jewish communities. One (of many) highlights: Hearing first hand from Weinstein how the Tidewater Federation ranks in the top 10% of organized Jewish communities throughout North America for campaign involvement in a population our size. He also helped identify areas for growth and improvement within our vibrant and diverse region. Weinstein resides in Charleston, S.C.
