OHEL Children’s Home and Family Services Appoints Robert Katz as the New Chief Development Officer
Moishe Hellman and Mel Zachter Co-Presidents of OHEL Children’s Home and Family Services announce the appointment of Robert Katz as the new Chief Development Officer of OHEL.
Formerly Director of Development at OHEL, Robert joined OHEL 18 months ago, bringing extensive fundraising and leadership experience from his years at Migdal Ohr, Efrat and International Hillel.
In his new position, Robert will assume overall responsibility for achieving OHEL’s fundraising goals, including developing strategies for introducing friends and donors to OHEL in new and existing communities, overseeing capital campaigns for OHEL and Camp Kaylie, and providing overall direction to the Development staff.
Mr. Katz, who brings a high level of professionalism and passion for worthy Jewish causes remarks that “OHEL elevates the lives of those facing challenges and very often and literally in the middle of the night, does the “heavy lifting” for so many in our community. To be able to work alongside over 1,000 staff members who are so hard working and dedicated is a great honor.”
Robert will work closely with OHEL senior staff, the Board of Directors of OHEL Bais Ezra, Lifetime Care Foundation and Camp Kaylie, and community leaders.
Feel free to contact Robert at RKatz@ohelfamily.org or 718-686-3214.
