The local community on Tuesday, May 28, commemorated 104 years of Jewish Community Services of South Florida’s (JCS) service as the safety-net for social and health services in Miami-Dade County.
During the event, Vanessa Ressler assumed the role of board chair, accompanied by four new additions to the board of directors: Michael Berman, Michele Burger, Nadine Foldes, and Samuel Morhaim.
State Attorney Katherine Fernandez-Rundle led a special installation ceremony, while Rabbi Gayle Pomerantz delivered an inspiring D’var Torah. State of Israel Deputy Consul General Mike Driquez provided remarks to attendees, alongside special presentations to community leaders and staff.
Ressler, a South Florida resident since 2006, brings extensive experience in nonprofit and faith-based organizations. Concluding her term as president of Temple Beth Shalom in Miami Beach, she now assumes the role of JCS Board chair. With expertise in marketing, communications, governance, and a passion for service, she aims to lead JCS in fulfilling its mission through consensus-building.
“I am exceedingly proud of this opportunity to continue my service to JCS as board chair. Working with this amazing team of professional and caring staff and leaders to provide a safety-net to the most vulnerable in our community is an incredible honor,” Ressler said. “I started my journey with JCS as a volunteer in order to teach my children the importance of caring for frail, lonely and underserved, and have found that I have learned much more in return.”
“The entire JCS team, and members of the board, are thrilled to welcome Vanessa to her new role and look forward to her leadership to further strengthen our community’s safety-net and scale to new heights in service to our beloved community,” said Miriam Singer, president and CEO of JCS.
