She's integrated as a team member as we've started tackling projects and I am very confident that our work will yield success!

Jessie was such a pleasure to work with. She knew all the right questions to ask to help us turn our school’s universal pre-kindergarten grant application around in short order. We found her to be insightful and efficient, eloquent in her wording, and knowledgeable in her subject matter. And most importantly, she was successful in helping us land a very large government grant that will benefit the community over a five-year period.

— Rabbi Jeffrey Greenberg, (former) Executive Director, Magen David Yeshivah

I have had the pleasure of working with Jessie on a number of community-wide programs including fundraising dinners, celebratory brunches, and fundraising for a meaningful tribute in a local park. Whenever I ask her to chair a committee or take the lead in organizing an event, she immediately says yes -- and quickly puts together a group of individuals to help make it happen. She assigned tasks to each of the members and followed up to make sure that everything was done on time. Not surprisingly, the events are always a huge success, with everything going according to plan without a hitch. Jessie's strength is that she gets things done -- and done well.

She is always looking to improve accessibility and recently worked with city agencies to secure funding for a signaled cross walk in front of a local synagogue. I have enjoyed partnering with Jessie on many projects, where I have watched her leadership shine as a community builder. We coordinate a 100+ family farm-share program, established a rapidly growing partnership minyan (prayer group) for families, and developed a unique online fundraiser for a synagogue’s youth department to fund innovative children’s programs during the pandemic. With Jessie, we always surpass our goals, bringing in more members and more dollars to directly impact the development of our community.

This is an invaluable partnership and we are lucky to have her involvement in the process.

In less than two hours, Jessie mapped out an entire marketing plan to position my organization for success recruiting new clients at an upcoming conference.

Not only that, Jessie templated out the plan to ensure I can replicate it time and time again.

— Jennie Woltz, Partner, Woltz & Folkinshteyn, P.C.

My department was having difficulty setting and meeting outreach and engagement goals. I brought Jessie onboard to create systems and provide leadership support for regional directors. By working with each individual, Jessie developed strategies and tactics to improve output and outcomes, increasing participation in our national Israel education program. When funds became available, Jessie stepped up to coordinate a qualitative and quantitative research study on program participation. She completed this with great success, positioning the organization for its next stage of growth. Working with Jessie felt like working with a partner rather than a consultant. She was genuinely invested in our success, I looked forward to our weekly meetings, and I found her feedback extremely helpful.
