Lay Leadership

Home Who We Are People Lay Leadership

For generations, our sacred community has thrived through our members. Their involvement and dedication make all the difference in our ability to carry out our mission. Our working groups and committees offer great opportunities for members to not only lend their talents, skills, and passions but also to develop new ones. Each year, over 300 members actively participate in committee work. If you would like to get involved and form new connections, take the first step here by reaching out and letting us know. We will help you find the right place to make an impact.

Board of Trustees

As the governing body of the synagogue, the Board of Trustees oversees the conduct of the affairs and activities of our congregation through the appointment of Standing Committees. The Board of Trustees generally meets on the first Tuesday of every month.

Leadership Council

The Leadership Council, which is composed of former presidents of the congregation, honorary trustees, and elected council members, is the backbone of our congregation. As our trusted advisers, the members of the Leadership Council make a tremendous impact on our community.
