Dear Springfield JCC Members,
I have a special announcement to share in this edition of J.Connection:
It is my great pleasure to announce that Deb Krivoy has accepted the position of Assistant Executive Director at the Springfield JCC.
Deb previously served as the J's Director of Cultural Arts and Education and has directed the Pioneer Valley Jewish Film Festival since 2017. She holds a Master's of Education from the University of Massachusetts. Prior to joining the Springfield JCC, Deb was the Director of Avoda Arts, a Jewish arts education organization. She is a nonprofit professional with 25 years of experience in program management, staff training, and curriculum design.
Deb has worked in various programmatic and administrative positions at the J for the past five years. During this time, she developed wonderful relationships with our members, staff, and leadership. Deb has been instrumental in expanding the reach, programming and support of the Pioneer Valley Jewish Film Festival. As Director of Cultural Arts and Education, she and her team re-invigorated the Literatour series, expanded visual arts programs, and secured grants that helped initiate a new women’s leadership program she facilitates entitled "Women in Power."
Deb demonstrates a great passion for our work and looks to offer only programs and services of the highest quality. The entire J staff team welcomed this announced promotion with great enthusiasm.
