Brain Dates: Personalized Advice for Your Professional Development
Our jobs come with real challenges, and it can be hard to find quick advice. Sometimes, you need an hour with someone who has been there before for objectivity and support. Schedule some one-on-one time at an upcoming JPro Co-Working Day to discuss issues related to your organization’s strategy, governance, communications, programming, fundraising, and more. We’ll connect you to long-time Jewish communal professionals who have been there—and now are here for you.

Lee and Toni Leichtag established the Leichtag Foundation in 1991 following the sale of their business. Lee and Toni were lifelong entrepreneurs with a passion for innovation and for supporting talent. They believed that only with big risk comes big reward. Both born to families in poverty, Toni to a single mother, they strongly believed in helping those most in need and most vulnerable in our community. While they supported many causes, their strongest support was for young children and the elderly, two demographics who particularly lack voice in our society.
