By Nancy B. Greer President & CEO Jewish life is thriving in our region, and an important reason why is that our community welcomes leadership from people who bring to the table a diversity of inspiring talents and admirable strengths. I look forward to our annual meeting each year because we publicly honor and celebrate individuals who have done so much to help our community meet challenges, seize opportunities, and secure brighter tomorrows.

By Nancy B. Greer President & CEO Earlier this week, we received a lovely and thoughtful note from the Holocaust Center for Humanity. The Center thanked the Jewish Federation of Greater Seattle for our advocacy in this year's Washington legislative session that secured $1.5 million for Holocaust and genocide education over two years. The funding will enable the Center to expand its programs to teach students statewide about the lessons of the Holocaust and their relevance for the world that Washington's children are growing up in.

By Nancy B. Greer President & CEO We have a thriving Jewish community, and one of our goals is to strive to ensure that it is also a welcoming place for the wonderfully diverse people who are a part of it.

By Nancy B. Greer President & CEO As you read this, children from our community have begun experiencing all the magic that Jewish overnight summer camp has to offer, thanks to scholarships they received from your Jewish Federation of Greater Seattle. Meanwhile, a couple of weeks ago, your Federation and our Jewish Community Relations Council (JCRC), together with a few other Jewish communal organizations met with Senator Patty Murray, who sought our counsel on what she can do to help combat increasing antisemitism, the most serious challenge facing Jewish Puget Sound today.
