By Reporter staff

The Jewish Federation of Greater Binghamton will hold its 2023 Annual Meeting on Wednesday, June 21, at 7:30 pm, at the Jewish Community Center. The event will include the election of the new Board of Directors. The Federation’s Annual Report will be available at the meeting in hard copy. It will also appear on the Federation website and in the June 16 issue of The Reporter. 

“With so many events happening in our community, we decided to not include a special program at the annual meeting,” said Shelley Hubal, executive director of the Federation. “As we look back at the last year and all we have accomplished, including sponsoring or co-sponsoring 18 communitywide programs, we hope the community will see the value in their gift to the Federation.”

  • Executive Committee: Suzanne Holwitt, president; Howard Warner, immediate past president; Mark Walker, vice president; Jeffrey Shapiro, treasurer; Lee Schechter, assistant treasurer; Eileen Miller, secretary; Charles Gilinsky, assistant secretary: Marilyn Bell, Campaign chairwoman; TBA, endowment chairman; and Randy Friedman, community relations chairman.
