Executive Roundtable

Welcome to the first Executive Roundtable Cohort!

The Executive Roundtable is designed to bring together the next generation of C-suite leaders, supporting your professional growth while creating meaningful opportunities to build knowledge, connections, and a lasting relationship with Federation and our Jewish community.

The program includes six core sessions: a kickoff, four milestone gatherings, and a closing celebration. As a cohort, you’ll also have the option to organize additional social opportunities along the way.

This page will serve as your go-to resource for program details and will be updated regularly.

Please plan to attend all six key events. All events will be scheduled for 90 minutes with the option to remain longer for additional networking or in some cases a tour of the agency or venue. Check in will always be open 15 minutes before start time.
