Meet the next 20 Jewish nonprofit leaders chosen for Leading Edge’s renowned executive training program.
Leading Edge has announced 20 senior-most executives leading Jewish nonprofits who will participate in the second cohort of Leading Executives. From February through June 2023, these leaders will receive leadership training, coaching, and opportunities for connection and mutual support.

The following leaders will participate in the first cohort of Leading Executives:
- Alon Friedman, ENTER: The Jewish Peoplehood Alliance

Leading Edge’s research into the experience of Jewish nonprofit executives shows that CEOs earlier in their tenure can benefit significantly from more support. CEOs are overwhelmingly likely to feel favorable about their relationships with their boards, but less likely to feel favorable about the board’s performance of their core functions—fundraising, giving useful evaluation feedback to the CEO, and being partners in setting a long-term vision and strategy. Leading Edge’s data also reveals that leaders find connecting with other leaders to be one of the most helpful factors contributing to their success. As one alum has said, “Because of Leading Edge, when I’m lonely as a CEO there’s always someone I can call.”
