Michael Hopkins, Chief Executive Officer of the JCC MetroWest, announced his resignation effective February 18, 2009.

Its board chair’s announcement is here and below:

Thursday, December 18, 2009

Dear Member:

“The winds of change blow through our life, sometimes gently,
sometimes like a tropical storm . . .
We can trust that change taking place is good.
The wind will take us where we need to go.”

With this reading and with mixed emotions, JCC MetroWest Chief Executive Officer Michael Hopkins announced his resignation this week effective February 18, 2009.
Michael has served the JCC community for 11 years, stalwartly focusing on our vision to be a premier Jewish social, recreational, cultural and educational center serving diverse
populations. He has overseen the expansion of renovation of our community centers; grown programs, classes and services exponentially; and touched the lives of thousands of
individuals every day. He will be sorely missed.

I will work with Michael over the next months, along with the JCC MetroWest Board of Trustees and JCC MetroWest Chief Operating Officer Alan Feldman, to ensure a seamless
transition of responsibilities. We are developing a transition plan which will be announced soon.

For over 131 years, our JCC has served the MetroWest community. Our mission to be a welcoming Jewish neighborhood is as relevant as it was in 1877 and probably more needed today than ever before. We look to the future with confidence and pride.

Sincerely,
Dolly Luwisch
Chair, Board of Trustees
