JEWISHcolorado, (formerly known as Allied Jewish Federation of Colorado) recently announced that three community members will receive awards at the 2014 annual meeting at 7 p.m. Aug. 27 at Infinity Park Event Center in Glendale.
This year’s award recipients are:
- Seth Wong – Ruth & Warren Toltz Young Leadership Award;
- Cintra Pollack – Charlotte B. Tucker Young Leadership Award;
- Lisa Engbar – Volunteer of the Year Award.
These award recipients have demonstrated a commitment to JEWISHcolorado and the broader Jewish community, as well as the ability to bring constituents together for committees, programs and events in an effort to make a lasting difference.
This year’s annual meeting will also recognize Nancy Gart and Ruth Malman, outgoing board co-chairs, and Amy Toltz-Miller, outgoing development chair and incoming board chair. Gart, Malman and Toltz-Miller have served as the volunteer leadership of JEWISHcolorado for the past three years.
“The entire community is invited to join us in recognizing these individuals as well as JEWISHcolorado’s outgoing and incoming leadership,” said Doug Seserman, JEWISHcolorado president and CEO. “In their own unique way, all of our honorees have made significant contributions to our community. They serve as excellent leadership role models for the rest of us.”
In addition to the presentation of awards, the 2014 annual meeting will take a look back at the organization’s first year operating as JEWISHcolorado, the impact it has made, and its plan for the future.
Founded in 1946, JEWISHcolorado is the umbrella community organization inspired by the collective responsibility to build and sustain Jewish life in Colorado, Israel and around the world. Its mission is to secure, steward, and share philanthropic and human resources in support of vibrant Jewish life and to mobilize the community in times of need.
