Advocacy > Regional Advocacy

Stimulated by gatherings of major donors at PEJE Donor Assemblies in New York, Los Angeles, and Boston, groups of day school advocates have been mobilizing in a number of communities to address ways local day schools can collaborate to improve the climate for day school education.

The Continental Council for Jewish Education, formerly at JESNA produced a summary report about these groups in the Fall of 2004.

Efforts in these communities are ongoing. These documents represent a sampling from the groups. To add information from your community or to connect with leaders from these groups, please contact Suzanne Kling.
