This three-part series will address these relevant and important questions: How can we strengthen our lay – pro partnerships as we together navigate the complexities of our 21st century world? What are the vital trends facing the North American Jewish community? How can we be more creative to make our organizations even more welcoming and open to diversity?

Over the course of the series we will :
1. Discover what strengths we each bring to deal with uncertain and complex situations
2. Find the supports needed in those situations to work effectively, collaboratively and creatively
3. Assess the strengths of our own organizations to respond effectively
4. Design with our partners and teams innovative approaches
