NCJW Pittsburgh Welcomes New Executive Director and Senior Director of Community Engagement

PITTSBURGH, PA, July 18, 2022 (PittsburghNewsWire.com) — National Council of Jewish Women Pittsburgh is excited to announce two important staffing changes to the organization’s leadership. First, Marissa Fogel has been hired as Executive Director. Marissa follows Sara Segel, who served in an interim role for the past two years. Marissa joins NCJW Pittsburgh as a seasoned nonprofit leader with 20 years of experience in program direction, operations design, and management education.

 

“It’s an honor to lead this important organization in the City of Pittsburgh,” said Marissa. “NCJW Pittsburgh is a nexus for advancing social change.  I feel privileged to work in partnership with such a smart, nimble team of professionals to continue the hard work of making our community a more equitable, more just place for women, children, and families to live, work, and play.”

 

Marissa’s past accomplishments include developing 412 Food Rescue’s Good Food Project, one of the world’s first zero waste kitchens. With a passion for community, Marissa is drawn to work that builds local impact while simultaneously focusing on affecting the systems changes needed to empower the communities with which NCJW Pittsburgh engages.

 

In addition, Megan Rose has been promoted to Senior Director of Community Engagement. Megan has worked with NCJW Pittsburgh since 2019. As Director of the Center for Women, Megan was the catalyst for evolving the program into MomsWork, a program powered by NCJW Pittsburgh that encourages, inspires, and supports moms to earn a paycheck and search for new employment, all while they manage their family’s evolving needs. This new role allows Megan the opportunity to better integrate projects and programs across the organization, encouraging efficiencies and cross-discipline collaboration. Megan is a licensed attorney with experience in nonprofit management and a passion for policy.

 

Andrea Glickman, NCJW Pittsburgh’s Board President said, “Our team may be small, but we are mighty. I know I speak for the entire Board and staff when I say how fortunate we all feel to have such a strong team in place to take NCJW Pittsburgh to the next level.”
