“Re-Imagining our JWF”
At the April 18th
Trustees Meeting, the Trustees unanimously approved a
self-grant to contract with consultants Nancy Schwartz
Sternoff and Phyllis Goldman of G&S Consultants LLC, to
review our current focus and process and determine where we
want to be in the future.
Focus groups and phone interviews will be conducted through
the summer followed by a Planning Committee convening in the
fall. To initiate this study, we will be sending a brief
survey to all Trustees. Updates on the study will posted on
our website as they become available.
