Want to help move CKA forward?
Our congregation relies on volunteers, and the CKA Leadership & Nominating committee is looking for congregants interested in serving on our many Committees and even the Board of Trustees. Committee and Board work includes education, ritual, membership care, finance, fund raising, and social action, as well as many ad hoc groups working on special projects. Leadership and volunteer work is a great way to meet other members and make new friends. Professional and work experiences are often needed to further Committee and Board work, and this is an opportunity to use your skills to help our Jewish community thrive. We are especially looking for individuals with financial and/or accounting expertise to keep us on a sound fiscal path. If you are interested or have questions, please contact Rebecca K.
