Millburn, NJ – Jan. 4, 2018 – The Good People Fund – which identifies, nurtures and supports grassroots, change-making organizations making impact across a broad spectrum of program areas in Israel, the United States, and elsewhere around the world – today named three new members to its Board of Trustees.
David M. Gilman of Summit, NJ; Jody Harburger of Owings Mills, MD; and Rachel Litcofsky of Merion Station, PA will serve three-year terms on the 12-person Board.
“Each of our new Trustees brings a depth of experience, perspective and devotion to our tikkun olam-inspired mission and will help greatly to advance The Good People Fund’s strategic direction and growing impact in the years to come,” said Naomi Eisenberger, Executive Director.
“I look forward to working with them and our entire Board as we enter our tenth year supporting our driving Jewish value, repair of the world.”
