New leadership initiative launched
Dangoor Senior Leadership Programme has been initiated for professional and lay leaders
A senior leadership programme for professional and lay leaders in the Jewish community is being launched, with applicants invited to apply by 6 March.
The Dangoor Senior Leadership Programme coordinated by Lead, a division of the Jewish Leadership Council, will start in June and run for 16 months, with only £500 asked as a registration fee. Similar programmes typically cost tens of thousands of pounds.
“This is the first senior leadership programme targeted at both lay and professional leaders in the Jewish community,” said Lead executive director Nicky Goldman.
“Usually they are targeted at one or the other, so this is a new departure for us.”
One of the eight modules will be run by Windsor Leadership, she said, with other modules covering areas such as interpersonal relations, creating and communicating a vision, and the invention required to change.
Under the programme, 16 delegates will meet every six to eight weeks until October 2018, and will focus on personal development, but it is squarely aimed at those who are already serving in a senior position, whether that be as a trustee or committee chair in a lay capacity, or as
a senior executive in a business.
Lead also said it would be interested in applications from those who once were involved in the Jewish community, perhaps at a younger age, and who have since attained senior positions in the world of commerce.
Lesley King-Lewis, chief executive of Windsor Leadership, said: “In this complex and challenging environment, leadership holds the answer not only to the success of individuals and their organisations, but also for our communities and society at large.
“We will create a safe space for Jewish leaders to come together to reflect on good leadership and leadership for good.”
The programme is similar to Lead’s long-running flagship Adam Science leadership project.

Engaging
Being a community platform means so much more than producing a newspaper and website. One of our proudest roles is media partnering with our invaluable charities to amplify the outstanding work they do to help us all.
Celebrating
There’s no shortage of oys in the world but Jewish News takes every opportunity to celebrate the joys too, through projects like Night of Heroes, 40 Under 40 and other compelling countdowns that make the community kvell with pride.
Pioneering
In the first collaboration between media outlets from different faiths, Jewish News worked with British Muslim TV and Church Times to produce a list of young activists leading the way on interfaith understanding.
Campaigning
Royal Mail issued a stamp honouring Holocaust hero Sir Nicholas Winton after a Jewish News campaign attracted more than 100,000 backers. Jewish Newsalso produces special editions of the paper highlighting pressing issues including mental health and Holocaust remembrance.
Easy access
In an age when news is readily accessible, Jewish News provides high-quality content free online and offline, removing any financial barriers to connecting people.
Voice of our community to wider society
The Jewish News team regularly appears on TV, radio and on the pages of the national press to comment on stories about the Jewish community. Easy access to the paper on the streets of London also means Jewish News provides an invaluable window into the community for the country at large.
We hope you agree all this is worth preserving.
