Joining the SJE board is a great way to support the Society of Jewish Ethics and to make the SJE a better academic organization.
In January 2022, the SJE membership approved some changes to the SJE board. Here you'll find a description of the various positions on the board. We hope you'll find one that will enable you to bring your interests and skills to the SJE. If you have any questions, please reach out to Joel Gereboff, past president of the SJE, who is chairing the nominating process this year. Joel.Gereboff@asu.edu
