IN THE NEWS!Synagogue "Affiliation and Engagement" Report Following a year of deliberations, SCM's Task Force on Affiliation & Engagement presented its final report to the Synagogue Council Board in early June 2010, with a follow-up email letter and attachment to member congregations. The report, not meant to be all-encompassing but certainly an attempt to look at many important aspects of the engagement landscape, is a work-in-progress and SCM welcomes your comments and suggestions. Rabbis, Presidents and Administrators are urged to share this report with your Board and Membership/Outreach Committees, both electronically and in person, and to use it as a tool to enhance your congregation's Affiliation & Engagement work. If you would like members of the Task Force to make a presentation to your leadership, or to facilitate a visioning process some time in the coming year, please let us know. The report can be accessed here.
