LINDA POLLARD ########## JFO Foundation Endowment Assistant/Staff Writer ########## As a former Women’s Campaign Di- vision Director of the Federation, Ellie Penner knows how campaign dollars impact the Omaha Jewish commu- nity. Never forgetting her years in Omaha and the importance of the Federation annual campaign, Ellie chose to give back. She recently estab- lished a PACE Fund at the Jewish Fed- eration of Omaha Foundation. Ellie said, “Establishing a PACE fund allows me to say ‘thank you’ to the Jewish community of Omaha for providing the many opportunities for growth.” Ellie is a native of Yonkers, NY. She received her B.A. in Spanish from So- phie Newcomb College in New Or- leans, which is now a part of Tulane University. Before moving to Omaha, Ellie lived and worked in New York City. She worked for various broker- age firms and a mergers and acquisi- tions company. Ellie has a daughter, son-in-law and granddaughter who live in Overland Park, KS. Ellie’s step- daughter lives with her husband in Los Angeles. She enjoys spending time with her family and friends,
