Honorary Board
The Honorary Board of the Houston Jewish Community Foundation is comprised of community leaders who are well versed about HJCF, yet wear not only the HJCF “hat,” but also that of the community at large. Members are respected leaders, well known to our Board, as well as the community and serve in the capacity of “advisor” on issues that might involve decision making or possibly consensus. Members are listed on the letterhead as the Honorary Board, though they would be “ex-officio” members or non-voting members.
