Wayne L. Firestone Transition

Wayne has agreed to stay in place long enough for Hillel to carry out a thorough search for his replacement. Wayne’s active participation in the search will ensure the most desirable candidates that Hillel is well positioned for the future. We are committed to ensuring a smooth transition, and to preserving the energy that has made Hillel such a dynamic and growing movement.

Wayne has led Hillel during a period of extraordinary innovation. Now that much of that innovation has borne fruit, we will – following the roadmap in our recently passed five-year strategic plan – bring the proven engagement approaches initiated by Wayne to more campuses and students, and deepen them where they have already succeeded. Firestone, who has worked for Hillel for more than a decade, will stay in place through June, 2013 in order to ensure a smooth transition

We are indebted to Wayne for his inspiration and leadership at Hillel and are happy that Wayne and his wife Stephanie will stay in the Washington, DC area, as he continues to work on behalf of the larger Jewish community.

Thank you for your support as we embark upon this important work on behalf of Hillel: The Foundation for Jewish Campus Life.
