We are pleased to announce that Eric D. Fingerhut has been appointed President and Chief Executive Officer at the Jewish Federations of North America. DRG was honored to work with the JFNA search committee and leadership to develop and support their search and interviewing process and to enable them to meet a diverse group of qualified candidates.
“For more than half a decade, the Jewish world has watched as Eric spearheaded transformational change at Hillel,” said Chair of the JFNA Board of Trustees Mark Wilf. “With a clear vision for the future of Jewish life on college campuses and universities, he took a 90-year-old organization and made it new again. We believe he can bring the same energy and imagination to Federation. He’s the right leader at the right time.”[1]
The Jewish Federations of North America (JFNA) is the umbrella organization for the Jewish Federation movement. JFNA represents 147 Jewish Federations and over 300 Network communities, which raise and distribute more than $3 billion annually. The Federation system, collectively among the top 10 charities on the continent, protects and enhances the well-being of Jews worldwide through the values of Torah (Jewish learning,) tzedakah (charity and social justice) and tikkun olam (repairing the world).
