Robin Meyerson Named VP Donor Services, National Jewish Day School Foundation

(PRWEB) January 19, 2010 -- The National Jewish Day School Foundation announces the appointment of Robin Meyerson as Vice President, Donor Services. Ms. Meyerson holds a masters degree in International Business from the Thunderbird School of Global Management, and is a seasoned professional with more than 15 years of marketing and sales experience in corporate companies and non profit organizations. Formerly, she was Director of Communications for Avnet, Inc., one of the world's largest global distributors of electronic products in the technology supply chain. More recently, she is the founder of Jewish Spirit Media which publishes Jewish Spirit Magazine, a nationwide, "kiruv" (outreach) initiative devoted to inspirational Jewish living.

The mission of The National Jewish Day School Foundation is to build Jewish identity, values, literacy and community through elementary Jewish day school education. The focus of the Foundation is on schools which embrace a quality, dual curriculum of secular and Jewish studies. The Foundation’s EXCEL Scholarship Fund is ‘trans denominational” in that it supports all branches of Judaism by awarding scholarships for families in financial need whose children are enrolled in Jewish elementary day schools. Foundation scholarships then are matched by the student’s school.

According to VP Meyerson, "There is a critical need to provide children and their families with an environment, peers, mentors, and skills to enrich their Jewish identity and self-image within the context of a Jewish value system." She maintains further that, "we all can play a pivotal role in meeting this need by helping to make Jewish day school education affordable.”

The National Jewish Day School Foundation is a registered 501(c) (3) organization, and all donations are tax deductible. Since every donation dollar is matched at the local Jewish day school level, $25 becomes $50, $50 becomes $100, and so on. Further information on the Foundation can be found at www.jewishdayschoolfoundation.org or by contacting Robin Meyerson at robin@jewishdayschoolfoun dation.org.
