Rosenthal previously served on JCPA\u2019s executive committee and succeeds David Bohm in the role; she joins new CEO Amy Spitalnick<\/em><\/p>\n

NEW YORK<\/strong> \u2014 The Jewish Council for Public Affairs<\/a> (JCPA), the national convener of Jewish coalitions working to build a just and inclusive American democracy, announced the board\u2019s selection of Leslie Dannin Rosenthal<\/strong> as its next chair. She succeeds David Bohm, who played an instrumental role in moving JCPA into its new chapter focused on protecting and advancing American democracy and combating hate, discrimination, and extremism.<\/p>\n

Leslie enters this role with ample experience in Jewish community relations, including serving on the JCPA board since 2019, most recently on the Executive Committee. Previously, she was the president of the Jewish Federation of Greater MetroWest New Jersey<\/a> and has served on boards of the Jewish Federations of North America, Mack Ness Fund of the Jewish Community Foundation of Greater MetroWest, and the Jewish Community Legacy Project.<\/p>\n

Reflecting on her selection for the role, Leslie Dannin Rosenthal, new JCPA board chair<\/strong>, shared, \u201cI\u2019m honored to be taking on the JCPA board chair at this time in our history. We are building on a long tradition of leadership, focused on encouraging democracy and combating antisemitism and bigotry of all kinds \u2013 issues that have long mattered to American Jews. I\u2019m very excited to be working with Amy and our entire lay and professional team, supporting the Jewish community relations field, strengthening existing partnerships within and beyond the Jewish community and creating new ones.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI am thrilled to welcome Leslie as JCPA\u2019s next board chair,\u201d said Amy Spitalnick, JCPA Chief Executive Officer<\/strong>. \u201cHer deep understanding of the need for innovation and strategic coalition building will be invaluable as we enter this new chapter for JCPA and work to meet this critical moment for the Jewish community and our democracy. I\u2019m so grateful to David Bohm, who has provided crucial leadership through a transformational time for JCPA \u2013 and I know that JCPA will continue to rely on his wise counsel.\u201d<\/p>\n

David Bohm, outgoing JCPA board chair<\/strong>, added, \u201cIt has been a pleasure working with Leslie Dannin Rosenthal on the board, where I witnessed her dedication and commitment to the Jewish Council for Public Affairs along with her ability to foster meaningful dialogue and act as a unifying force. As I step down from my role, I have full confidence that Leslie’s leadership will propel JCPA to new heights and will help advance the important work of strengthening our democracy.\u201d<\/p>\n
