Join us for the launch of the UJA Westchester Professional Women’s* community, bringing together women balancing careers, family, and community life. Rooted in UJA’s values, women from diverse industries and life stages will gather to learn from one another, build a meaningful relationship, and make a difference in Westchester and beyond.

Our kickoff program, featuring Hildy Kuryk and Meredith Burns, will focus on how the way you communicate can shape your influence in everyday moments, professionally, personally, and in the community.

You’ll also hear about UJA’s critical work meeting the moment: helping Israelis in the line of fire, fighting soaring antisemitism, securing our Jewish institutions, and uplifting struggling New Yorkers.

*UJA Westchester Professional Women is a new community for women redefining work, leadership, and success, all rooted in UJA’s values. Whether you’re building, leading, mentoring, returning to, or reimagining your career, you belong here.
