Executive Director
• Wear light clothing because the air conditioner doesn’t
always work in my office
• Plan on talking to a lot of members the day our statements are sent
• Our rabbis work 24/7
• Keep my sense of humor
• Don’t assume anything
• Return calls to members within 24 hours or risk a very full voice mailbox
• Vendors will call a lot
• TI staff work very hard
• Meetings always go longer than anticipated
• Long-range planning is tough to do during a pandemic
• Building a culture of philanthropy will take time
• Everyone has an opinion, or two, or three
• Have patience
• Collaboration is my best friend
• My social work degree comes in handy
• Learning curves can be steep
• Snarky-ness can be helpful
• Welcome feedback, opinions, and beliefs that may not match my own
• Celebrate successes
• Embrace tough conversations
• Old buildings break down a lot, and they cost a lot to fix
• And, most of all, I’m loving it!
Thank you, everyone, for making my first year at TI so memorable. I hope to
see everyone in person soon, now that our Zoom services are over.
