More than 200 people filled the room at B’nai Aviv in Weston, to be part of the Annual Meeting of the Jewish Federation of Broward County.  Highlighted by an awards ceremony honoring volunteers whose contributions were above and beyond expectations, the Annual Meeting was an excellent way to conclude the year for the Federation – and a great motivator for the year ahead.

Karen Zemel was re-elected as Board Chair for the second year.  Other officers re-elected include Ben J. Genet as Secretary, Ken Strauss as Treasurer, and Richard Drath, Laura Goldblum and Judy Spatz as Vice Chairs at large.  Additionally, Goldblum was appointed 2011 Campaign Chair.

The award winners featured an array of people who embodied the spirit of lending a helping hand.  See the list below for winners and their awards.  A reception prior to the annual meeting recognized the Federation’s new Yad Society members.

“We look forward to a wonderful year, lending a helping hand to people in need in our community and overseas, and to the guidance and support that our entire board of directors and roster of dedicated volunteers can provide,” said Eric B. Stillman, President and CEO of the Jewish Federation of Broward County.
