Board of Directors
The Olam Tikvah Board of Directors consists of the Executive Committee, the chairs of the standing committees, 10 elected directors, some of whom serve as committee chairs, the three past presidents, and the current presidents of Sisterhood, Men's Club, and the Preschool.
The Board of Directors establishes the basic operating philosophy of, and sets the goals and objectives for, the Congregation, following the Bylaws and Constitution and the authority of the Congregation as exercised at membership meetings. It also establishes basic policies that impact the synagogue as a whole, and reviews and approves the decisions and activities of management and committees.
Our committee meetings are open to anyone who is interested. We welcome your feedback and comments at any time. Contact President Brittanie Werbel.
