Hello all!
It is my pleasure to welcome you to the 2019 JCCs of North America Professional Conference. What a wonderful way to come together with friends, old and new, while learning and sharing about the work we do at our JCCs! We have a great lineup of learning sessions, all presented by leading industry innovators who are ready to guide us over the course of the conference.
The planning committee has worked hard to design thought-provoking conference sessions, and I believe that they have presented a strong lineup that will help you reach your professional development goals. I hope that you find this conference both stimulating and informative, and that at the end of our four days together, you return to your JCC feeling reinvigorated.
During the conference, you will have various opportunities to explore areas such as communication, creativity, and confidence, and examine how they relate to effective management. Our sessions are devised to empower personal growth. By combining professional development with a shared passion for our JCCs, we can innovate for our communities and provide them with enriching programming and resources.
We are confident you will find the Rosen Plaza Hotel to be the perfect setting for your Professional Conference experience. Situated in sunny Orlando, the hotel is near a variety of fun excursions, while also providing ample opportunities to engage in on-site activities. Whether you want to explore the city or schmooze by the pool, there’s something for everyone!
I am so glad you chose to join us in Orlando. I look forward to greeting you on Feb. 24!
Joy Brand-Richardson
2019 JCCs of North America Conference Director
