The National Young Leadership Cabinet gathered for its annual retreat at the beginning of August in Detroit, Michigan. Cabinet welcomed more than 300 participants from more than 60 communities, including a total of 90 new members as well as 14 participants from the Jewish Federation of Greater Philadelphia cohort. The retreat was filled with learning, inspiration and networking on the highest level.

“It was impressive to see the larger picture of all the National Young Leadership Cabinet members coming together from all over North America. The impact that these young leaders have made on our world is absolutely incredible,” said the Jewish Federation’s NextGen Director Susan Becker. “Our Greater Philadelphia Cabinet contingent left the retreat feeling inspired and re-charged to continue the important work that Cabinet does around the world.”
