Board of Directors

Hillel’s board of directors is an international board. Our board is responsible for fiscal oversight and support for projects that exemplify Hillel’s mission and values.

Our board helps increase the visibility and importance of Hillel, ensuring our financial security and ability for growth. Comprised of dedicated alumni, parents, and friends of Hillel, our board is responsible for effective long-term strategic planning so we can fulfill our mission.

Both the Hillel student president and the immediate past student president are full members of the board. Senior university administrators are regular guests at board meetings.

Hillel at Brandeis is a 501(c)(3) non-profit. We independently raise the majority of our annual budget each year.
