[Fredslist] Great Job for an Organizational Development / Consulting Professional at UJA Federation

[Beth Silver]

Hi!

A very good friend and colleague is leaving the UJA Federation after 14 years. She loved her job and leaving to cross some things off her bucket list.

If you know of anyone who would be the right fit for this opportunity, please forward a resume to another good friend and colleague of mine Jill Mendelson at MendelsonJ at UJAFEDNY.ORG<mailto:MendelsonJ at UJAFEDNY.ORG>

Please note, if you do not have knowledge of organizational development or consulting please do not apply. The right person must possess these skills.

Thanks! Beth
