Abstract:

As the role of Jewish Family Service agencies has expanded, the role of lay leaders has not kept pace, and many lay leaders are unprepared to shoulder an additional share of the burden. Recruitment, orientation, and training need to be much more rigorous, and the culture of the Board should encourage a searching examination of all issues and forceful advocacy.
