It has a duty of full disclosure to its Members and its donors. If Federation leaders are embarrassed by the amount of Dues being charged the communities, the answwer isn't to bury them, it's to either disclose them or to stop paying them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8565163061165974643.post-4099767463034437532018-02-04T17:18:53.199-06:002018-02-04T17:18:53.199-06:00Many federations -- I don't think New York is ...Many federations -- I don't think New York is one of them -- bury their JFNA Dues in the "Overseas Allocation" line item the communities' leaders knowing full well that if the Boards knew how much is going to (and being wasted by) JFNA, there would be an immediate revolt and a demand that these payments be explained or stopped. Then again, If New York or Chicago or Cleveland or Miami or LA do disclose the multi-million dollar Dues they just throw at JFNA with no accountability required, what does it say about the docile nature of these local so-called leaders, those so willing to look the other way while those millions are being totally wasted?

Is the clearly irresponsible NY-UJA's Jodi Schwartz, who ignores the Budget abuses against which she is supposed to protect the federation system telling her professional leader, Eric Goldstein, to "lay off" JFNA? We'll probably never know but we can surmise that that's a big part of it. The fact that NY-UJA continues to throw millions at JFNA should concern every donor. <br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8565163061165974643.post-28075740776427382832018-02-04T05:50:04.871-06:002018-02-04T05:50:04.871-06:00I'm not sure NY's head is in the sand, but...I'm not sure NY's head is in the sand, but it's clear they currently have no interest in dealing with the problem.
