The Milwaukee Jewish Federation welcomes Mitch Moser as 2012 Annual Campaign chair. He succeeds Moshe Katz, who served as the Campaign’s 2010 and 2011 chair.
An attorney with Quarles & Brady, Moser has served as a member of MJF’s executive committee, board of directors, and on numerous committees, including planning and allocations.
Moser will calls on his volunteer experience to prepare him for his new role. “I have had the benefit of working closely with many of the recent Campaign chairs in tasks ranging from associate chair to the Cardozo Society chair, to Young Men’s divisional chair, and each Campaign chair had a distinctively unique and powerful style,” said Moser.
The MJF recently completed a community-wide summit to discuss what role the Federation will fill in the community, and the results with be part of the Federation’s reimagining period in 2012. Though the Annual Campaign carries on with more importance than ever, the challenge of becoming Campaign chair during this time of change is one Moser is prepared for.
“This is an exciting time to become the community’s Campaign chair,” he said. “As we work through the process, we will undoubtedly learn lessons that will specifically impact how we execute the Campaign, and our challenge will be to incorporate these lessons into a Campaign that will be in development and in progress.”
Annual Campaign director Rabbi Eric B. Stark has spent recent months with Moser preparing for the 2012 Annual Campaign and is already impressed with the enthusiasm he has exhibited.
“Mitch brings a thoughtful, considered passion to his work. There are few people in our community who know our agencies and their people better than Mitch,” said Stark.
“He also brings a deep love of the land and people of Israel. We could not have found a more experienced, well-rounded and passionate Campaign chair than Mitch Moser,” said Stark.
Moser looks forward to engaging both volunteers for and donors to the 2012 Annual Campaign in conjunction with the reimagining process, and feels that we are on the precipice of a rejuvenation period.
“The reimagining process should inspire both former Campaign workers to return to the fold, and energize new workers to join us in this community-building exercise,” said Moser. “Years ago, we used to say ‘no gift touches more lives’ and my experience with agencies has given me a deep appreciation of what we do and have here in our community.”
