Emerging Generation
The Emerging Gen is a special division of the Federation aimed at young adults under 40.
We develop exciting and innovative programs that allow young people to meet and mingle and develop their professional contacts. There are social events, workshops to hone skills and to network, mentorships, grant programs, Social Action Missions to Israel, and much more.
Meet the new Campaign co-chairs of the Emerging Gen
We are honoured to introduce ourselves as the Emerging Generation (EG) campaign co-chairs for 2020-2021. As co-chairs we hope to inspire you to increase your involvement in Jewish Ottawa, and to take on leadership roles within the community.
Our profession is our day job but strengthening the Jewish community is our passion. Without the support of our peers, our community cannot, and will not, survive. We would be thrilled to connect with any community member individually. Feel free to reach out to us through Lindsay Newman, Interim Annual Campaign Manager with feedback or questions.
Sincerely,
Jonathon Greenberg & Elyssa Nassi
Jodi Weinstein & Adam Zaret
