Event Details

Lobbying Clinic

Our NCJW Utah Section is privileged to benefit from the legislative lobbying expertise of Pamela Silberman and Robyn Lipkowitz. In preparation for effective support of lobbying efforts consistent with local NCJW values and interests, Pam and Robyn conduct a clinic that highlights and demystifies key aspects of the legislative process.

If you’ve ever wanted to better understand how your legislature works and how you can make an individual impact or support local team lobbying initiatives, don’t miss this annual clinic.


NCJW Day on Capitol Hill Page
Key bills NCJW is lobbying for can be found in our special legislative edition of the Utah section newsletter.

Or take a look at the national NCJW efforts to affect legislation before the U.S. Congress.

Join NCJW or other local lobbying teams for meetings with local legislators. You can be part of the process and make a difference.


Ski Day
A favorite social event, join fellow members on the slopes for a fun day.

Contact Annabel Sheinberg or Rochelle Kaplan.


Passover Seder
Each year, our local NCJW section partners with the Jewish Community Center to enable local seniors to connect with their Jewish roots and enjoy Passover foods and traditions.
