& President of The Bender JCC of Greater Washington, who is stepping

President of the Bender JCC of Greater Washington. On Oct 30, 2020, 
Michael is stepping down as the CEO & President of the Bender JCC of 
Greater Washington.
  Michael's success was grounded in his unwavering dedication and 
exceptional skill. Prior to becoming the CEO, he served as the Chief 
Operating Officer of the Center for three years.
  However, Michael's life of service did not begin with the Bender JCC.

25 years of experience as both a consultant to and leader of 
entrepreneurial businesses and nonprofit organizations.
  As an executive coach he has helped leaders manage change and create 
a new, more successful future for themselves and their organizations. 
He has owned and managed businesses in the manufacturing, service, and 
high-tech industries, and served in a variety of lay leadership roles 
in community and nonprofit organizations before becoming a Jewish 
communal professional.
  Throughout his career, Michael has led by example as a friendly but 
resolute face on the Bender JCC rounds and beyond. Time and time again, 
Michael has established himself as a pivotal figure within the 
community. His ability and commitment showed every single day through 
his presence at the corridors of the preschool, the Fitness Center, the 
indoor and outdoor pools, through his personal attention to the campers 
and their families, the special attention to the inclusion campers, 
members, through the multiple fundraising events, and the enormous 
amount Board Meetings and Committee meetings.
  Please join me in thanking Mr. Michael Feinstein for his incredible 
service to the Bender JCC of Greater Washington and to the Community at 
large.
