And 1 or 2 things that have made the Federations stronger than they were before Jerry took over?"<br />Shouldn't it be mandatory for a Case to be made for his (or any JFNA CEO's) contract extension?<br />What is the 'process'?<br />By the way, when Jerry took office, one of the goals he stated to the JFNA Staff was, in fact, to make JFNA 'the place to be for Jewish Communal Professionals'.<br />Does anyone in the Jewish Communal World think that JFNA is that place to be?<br />I wonder how Jerry would answer that question.<br />But then, I doubt if anyone will ask.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8565163061165974643.post-70738414673279612202014-05-29T09:25:19.442-05:002014-05-29T09:25:19.442-05:00http://www.thejewishweek.com/editorial-opinion/gar...http://www.thejewishweek.com/editorial-opinion/gary-rosenblatt/federations-may-advance-efforts-promote-israeli-civil-marriage?utm_source=Thurs+May+29&utm_campaign=Thurs+May+29&utm_medium=emailAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8565163061165974643.post-31160454219726939162014-05-28T21:10:11.804-05:002014-05-28T21:10:11.804-05:00John is retiring.

A dozen independent federations going on there own would be no worse off than staying and complaining in whispers. Even deferring the first two suggestions of anonymous , a consultation of the willing and disgusted can move the needle.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8565163061165974643.post-4708780720087921192014-05-28T17:58:19.826-05:002014-05-28T17:58:19.826-05:00The problem with what anonymous #1 suggests is Hof...The problem with what anonymous #1 suggests is Hoffman, Nasatir and Ruskay will block.<br /><br />That's it.
