Brooke German joins JDC young adult board

This year, for the first time in its history, the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee (JDC), the global Jewish humanitarian group and a partner of Jewish Alliance of Greater Rhode Island, changed its bylaws and added 15 young adult board members to its Board of Directors.

Brooke German, a Rhode Island native now living in New York City, is a member of the first cohort of young adults to serve on the JDC Board of Directors.

“Joining the nation’s brightest minds and biggest hearts to discuss our responsibilities – both as Jews and global citizens – is humbling and empowering at once,” said German.

“We are so proud that Brooke joins our inaugural group of young adult JDC Board Members. Her talents, passion, and commitment to Jewish life around the world represents the kind of fearless leadership we are looking to cultivate and learn from as an organization,” said JDC Executive Vice President Sarah Eisenman, who is also executive director of JDC Entwine, JDC’s young adult engagement platform.
