Dear New Frontier Advisors,
Hi! Welcome to your very own section of the website. We are just getting started here to fill up this section with informative announcements and documents. Check back as we'll be updating the website with information such as: community announcements and events, regional announcements about things like membership and convention lists, new ideas for your chapter, and advisor email contact information.

We are starting off this new web-section by advertising the JYDA convention. JYDA is the Jewish Youth Director's Association. "JYDA was founded in 1971 to assist the development of professionals in the field of Conservative Jewish youth work. We are dedicated to raising the consciousness of the general Jewish community to the importance of this profession. JYDA provides conventions and workshops that train Youth Directors and Advisors in group work skills, Judaic knowledge, child development, and developing creative and diverse programming." This is a great time for networking and professional development, I'll be going and if you'd like to come to I can help talk to you synagogue for scholarship money.

Thanks New Frontier Advisors and Staff for being some of the best around, I truly enjoying working with all of you, remember you can always be in touch, I am here to help with anything your chapter might need.

B'Shalom,
Cynthia
