JCC Execs from Cities in Russia and Ukraine Visit JCC Association

A delegation of JCC directors from four Russian and Ukrainian cities is visiting our office today to learn more about the work of JCC Association and the Mandel Center for Excellence in Leadership and Management. Along with several representatives from the Jewish Joint Distribution Committee, the JCC executives are finding out how JCCs use Benchmarking data to measure their effectiveness in different service areas, and how to garner more funding from membership fees. The young directors, who run Jewish Community Centers in Moscow, St. Petersburg, and Odessa and Kharkov in Ukraine, are spending a week in the U.S., visiting JCCs throughout the New York metro area.
