Nancy Waldbaum named JCC board president

Continued from Page 3 a press release. “We welcome Nancy to the presidency with open arms and are excited to see the creative ways she will come up with to use her many years of experience for the benefit of so many others.”

Now two weeks into her new position, Waldbaum said it has been going well and is proud to be taking on this new role. She said her success so far can be attributed to her planning for the position, which she said has been ongoing for about a year.

She said she has been collaborating with the center’s senior leadership team to utilize their experience and understand the long-term goals for the JCC overall.

“I don’t want it to be my vision, it has to be our vision,” Waldbaum said. Waldbaum is also welcomed into her new position alongside new treasurer Jeff Buslik and assistant treasurer Rita Levy.

“There is nothing the Sid Jacobson JCC can’t obtain because we have been blessed throughout my tenure with a stellar group of staff members who all are passionate about what they do and have real vision and drive,” Waldbaum said. “And that works in tandem with the 30+ board members who also are passionate and are driven and are focused. We all come to the JCC from different per- spectives, but at the end of the day the unifying goal that the staff and the board share is that we are passionate about the work that happens within our building and outside of our building, and we are committed to making it stronger, better and continuing to grow.”
