Executive Director
Brooke joins Temple Israel from the Charlotte Jewish Preschool (CJP), where she served as the Executive Director for the past nine years (13 years in total), achieving remarkable success in various key areas and initiatives. Throughout her tenure at CJP, Brooke demonstrated an unwavering commitment to organizational growth, staff recruitment/retention (overseeing more than 60 staff members), board development, capital improvements, curriculum/programmatic development, financial strength and strategic planning. Brooke will bring to Temple Israel her strong leadership, coaching skills, operational acumen, knowledge in human capital, experience in increasing enrollment, and a proven ability to work in concert with a Board of Directors on strategic initiatives and long term planning. She also has cultivated strong relationships within Shalom Park leadership, and most importantly, a deep passion for Jewish learning, life, and community. We feel confident that Brooke will undoubtedly contribute significantly to our congregations continued growth and vibrancy. In addition to her nine years of Executive Leadership experience, Brooke holds a Master’s degree in Education, a Bachelor’s degree in Education/Multiculturalism, and a certificate in Nonprofit Leadership and Management from Duke University. She is also near completion of her Certificate in Executive Coaching from the Center for Creative Leadership.
