OJC Announces Leadership Transition and Interim Management Structure

Columbus, Ohio — Ohio Jewish Communities (OJC) today announced a series of exciting leadership transitions that reflect both organizational growth and an ongoing commitment to advancing the interests and wellbeing of Ohio’s Jewish community.

Following his recent move to Israel, Chief Executive Officer Howie Beigelman will be transitioning into a consulting role with Ohio Jewish Communities. In this capacity, Beigelman will continue to support the organization’s strategic priorities, public policy efforts, and long-term vision, while allowing for continuity during this period of transition.

“For over a decade, it’s been my privilege to lead our statewide efforts in Columbus and work with our partners in Washington to enact consequential legislation with meaningful impact felt here in Ohio, across the United States, and around the world,” said Beigelman “I’m proud of our work, of our community’s reputation and credibility with policymakers on both sides of the aisle, and of the business, civic, and religious leaders who know to call on us.  I will always be ready to speak out for the Jewish community and to speak up for Ohio.”
