The 2010 Leaders’ Retreat, held October 8-10, 2010, in Florham Park, NJ, brought NCJW leaders together from across the country and asked them to take an in-depth look into the most pressing issues affecting local NCJW communities.

NCJW leaders dedicated their weekend to learning techniques to more effectively engage, mobilize and lead members, networking with colleagues to discover new ideas and tap into new resources, and obtaining the latest news about NCJW’s initiatives.
