Excellence and Innovation Spotlight

Got a bold idea that changed how your JCC runs? A polished program that wowed members? A smart internal system that made everything operate more smoothly?

Share it—and move the  movement.

The Excellence and Innovation Spotlight at ProCon 2025 celebrates the full spectrum of standout work from JCCs and JCC Camps—from the front lines of member experience to the behind-the-scenes systems that power it all.

You’re invited to submit a project, program, process, or point of pride that can inspire peers across the field. Share what works, so we can make it even better.

We’re looking for:

  • Signature programs and community initiatives
  • Smart SOPs and internal operations protocols
  • Cross-team processes that improve communication or efficiency
  • New ways of working that set a higher standard
  • And yes, anything that makes your team beam with pride
This isn’t an awards show. It’s an exchange of ideas that will make our work stronger, smarter, and more impactful—for our teams, our JCCs, JCC Camps, and the communities we serve. Spotlight features come in many formsa simple pin that identifies you as someone to talk to, a Peer Community presentation, or even a video shown during a Movement Moment. We won’t know what fits best until you share your story. 


Why Submit? 

By sharing our movement’s best, most inventive initiatives and ideas, we can all celebrate the creativity, dedication, and innovation that is integral to what we do; help peers and colleagues adapt and replicate successful initiatives; and strengthen our workforce and the entire JCC Movement. 

This is your opportunity to show off the amazing work you do and take a bow! If your submission is chosen for the Excellence and Innovation Spotlight, you and your creativity will be: 

  • Featured at ProCon 2025, where you'll inspire hundreds of peers
  • Highlighted in theJCC Movemenent Briefs and JCC Resource Center
  • Celebrated as a model that others can adapt and build on

This is your chance to be recognized not only for what the public sees but also for the work that makes it all possible.
