Jewish Federations Announce Second Cohort of Executive Accelerator Program
Steve Lotter, Director of Community Engagement, is among the 24 participants accepted into the program.
Jewish Federations of North America proudly announces the second cohort of the Jewish Federations’ Executive Accelerator, a year-long selective program designed to equip high-potential professional leaders in the Jewish Federation system with the resources, network and coaching to competently and confidently grow toward their first or their next executive role.
Thanks to a generous investment from the Jack, Joseph and Morton Mandel Foundation, Executive Accelerator participants will grow their leadership presence and capacities. The program combines monthly professional development opportunities, applied learning within their local Federations, site visits to other Federations to study best practices in their desired areas of focus, Jewish learning, and coaching. Upon completion of the program, participants join the Accelerator Alumni network, affording them access to ongoing resources and continued learning and skill building.
From Moshe Kruger, Executive Director, Jewish Federation of St. Joseph Valley:
“At the Jewish Federation, we view professional development as an opportunity to empower employees to take control of their career growth and development by setting clear objectives and identifying the steps required to achieve them. With this in mind, I’m proud to announce Steve Lotter, Director of Community Engagement has been accepted into JFNA’s highly competitive Executive Accelerator Cohort II program. Steve is one of 24 participants selected into this best-in-class leadership cohort across North America. Kol hakavod, congratulations, Steve.”
