Our administrative staff have officially moved in to Kolot's FIRST-EVER OFFICE! For the first time in our almost 20-year-history, our administrative staff are now working together, not in isolation in their homes. And, for the first time ever, all of Kolot's administrative and congregational records and materials are in one place. Huge thanks to Treasurer Eric Sloan, Administrative Director Diane Kirschner and Data and Accounts Manager Efrat Baler-Moses for coordinating this landmark move! You can stop by the office, which is located inside the Brooklyn Creative League at 540 President Street on the 3rd Floor between 3rd and 4th Avenues in Park Slope, to drop of materials or ask a question during business hours Monday through Friday. Kolot is officially HIRING FOR OUR FIRST-EVER FULL-TIME MANAGING DIRECTOR! The Managing Director will be responsible for all the secular operations of the congregation and will be our first-ever full-time administrative/operations staff member; for more background about this new position, please see a special letter sent to the congregation earlier this month . Kolot members are encouraged to apply (deadline for applications is February 10, 2012). The job announcement follows and a more comprehensive is on our website. Thank you for helping us spread the word far and wide to help us identify terrific candidates! Kolot has just welcomed TWO NEW BOARD MEMBERS! We are delighted that longtime Kolot members Eddy Erhlich and Liz Schalet have officially joined the Board. As you may recall, the passing of Board member Amina Rachman (z"l) and move-across-country of Board member Michael Hopkins left two big shoes for the Board to fill. In accordance with our bylaws and after interviewing a pool of terrific Kolot members who stepped forward willing to be of service, the Board appointed Eddy and Liz. They will attend their first Board meeting in early February and are already getting connected and taking on new leadership roles. We welcome them and extend our appreciation to all the other Kolot members who expressed interest in these interim positions that run through the balance of 5772 (Aug 31, 2012). Many thanks also to Board members Sally Charnow, Lisa Jakobsberg and Bob Usdin who served as our Temporary Position Nominating Team. With an eye to our annual May/June Congregational Meeting and the regular Board Elections that take place there, more extensive Board Nominations will begin in the weeks ahead. So... it's never too late! If you are interested to join the Board, please let us know so that when it is constituted, our Board Nominations Committee can contact you. As always, if we can answer questions about these actions of the Kolot Board of Directors, please contact us . For the Board, Cindy Greenberg, President |
