UJC Responds to the Economic Crisis
As providers of vital services to Jews in North America, Israel and around the world, the UJC and the Federation system are partnering to strengthen the Jewish community amid the ongoing global economic crisis. One of the ways they are assisting member Federations is through their 2009 Investment Institute, Successful Endowment Investing in a Time of Global Uncertainty, that opens today. Top investment professionals and academic experts will address topics essential to navigating investment programs through the current global market turbulence.
