Meet Our New Board President Justin Colby

We're pleased to announce Justin Colby as our new Beth-El Center Board President, succeeding the great work of our most recent past President, Max Case. Read on to learn more about Justin and his involvement with and plans for the Center:

How did you get involved with Beth-El?
My first exposure to Beth-El was with a community service group I belonged to at Foran High School here in Milford — the Interact Club. We used to volunteer for spaghetti dinners and food drives. Fast forward a few decades, and I have a good friend on the board of the Rape Crisis center here in Milford. I told her I thought being a board member seemed like something I'd love to learn more about, and she told me she had a friend on the Beth-EL board and they were looking to bring in some new faces.
