The Jewish Federation of Sarasota-Manatee has announced that after a national search, the organization’s board of directors has named Shepard Englander as its new chief executive officer.
“We believe we have found the perfect leader to take the helm of our growing federation. We couldn’t be more thrilled,” Randon Carvel, federation board president said in a news release.
Englander served 16 years as CEO of The Jewish Federation of Cincinnati and earned national recognition as a strategic and entrepreneurial leader “who transformed Cincinnati’s Jewish community by implementing new business models that multiplied revenue,” a news release state. His first project in Cincinnati was spearheading a capital campaign and construction of a community center campus. This was the first step in Cincinnati’s journey to becoming one of America’s most collaborative and purposeful Jewish communities, the release said.
