We’re thrilled to have competitive Trustee elections to lead our dynamic charity. Below you can find details of each of the candidates (listed in alphabetical order) and a link to their personal statement.
The election will take place on Monday 14 July, with the winners announced in the evening. US Council members elect US Trustees and have received voting instructions.
On Tuesday 7 July we held a hustings for the Presidential candidates. Claire Lemer, Marc Meyer and Saul Taylor were grilled by Council members under the watchful eye of independet Chair, Phil Rosenberg, President of the Board of Deputies. You can read the Jewish Chronicle report of the hustings here.
But more importantly, what did the electorate think? We asked voters for their thoughts immediately after the hustings which you can watch here.
