Want to help move CKA forward?

Our congregation relies on volunteers, and the CKA Leadership Committee is looking for congregants interested in serving on our many Committees and even the Board of Trustees. Committee and Board work includes education, ritual, membership care, finance, fund raising, and social action, as well as many ad hoc groups working on special projects. Leadership and volunteer work is a great way to meet other members and make new friends. Professional and work experiences are often needed to further Committee and Board work, and this is an opportunity to use your skills to help our Jewish community thrive.

If you would like more information about becoming more involved in a Committee, we are happy to help connect you with the committee(s) that align with your interests. 

In addition, two Board Trustee positions will need to be voted on at the Annual Meeting this Spring.  The Leadership Committee is charged with presenting candidates for these positions to the Board, and we will be working on this over the next few months.  Trustee positions last 3 years, and Trustees are responsible for: attending monthly Board meetings, serving as liaisons between the committees and the Board, welcoming members at religious functions, serving as liaisons to Portland area synagogues and other community organizations, serving on ad-hoc committees, co-signing checks if designated by the President, and performing other responsibilities as assigned by the Board.  On average, Trustee positions require between 2-4 hours of time each month, in addition to attending scheduled Board meetings.

If you are interested or have questions, please contact Rebecca Khalil at [email protected] no later than February 28, 2019 about potential Board service – or at any time to get connected with a committee!
