However, in this economic climate, I would expect even more consolidation of organizations and resources. Fortunately, for young Jewish professionals, the Jewish Communal Service Association of North America (JCSA), which has been in existence for 110 years, has recently expanded its programs, training, membership, and focus. On both a North American scale and through its nearly twenty local groups, JCSA is the largest network of Jewish communal professionals across all fields providing affordable and accessible professional development and a sense of community among the tens of thousands of Jewish professionals serving our communities. JCSA offers intellectual capital, membership benefits, and mentoring along with a monthly e-newsletter and the Journal of Jewish Communal Service (the longest continuously published Jewish journal in the country). It sponsors the annual Young Pro Award at the GA and is part of the World Conference of Jewish Commmunal Service connecting North American professionals with those in Israel, Europe, FSU, and South America. I invite all Jewish professionals involved with PLP to take advantage of what JCSA has to offer. Visit the website at www.jcsana.org. I also invite funders to consider supporting the established, existing institutions in our community to help them continue to evolve and serve rather than (re)invent new organizations which often have a short shelf-life.
