What's Your Fedovation -- JFNAGA 2015

FEDovations Are Back!

GA 2015, November 8-10 in Washington, D.C., will again feature two full breakout blocks of FEDovation sessions. Submit your most innovative programming now! Federations are launching some of the most vibrant, thriving and critical change efforts in the Jewish world today, creating and testing new expressions of Jewish life across North America. Are some of those programs coming from your community?

GA 15 will spotlight dozens of initiatives focusing on the topics listed below. They will be presented TED-style (by you, in a practiced and polished 5 minutes) on Tuesday, November 10. In order to participate, you or an appropriate colleague (professional or lay leader) must be planning to attend the GA. Alas, we are unable to pay your way to the GA.

Entries are due by June 15. Committees of volunteer and professional leaders will make selections by the end of July.
