Dear colleague,

You're invited to attend the 2010 NJ MarCom Joint Summer Networking
Event *WEDNESDAY, July 14, 2010 at the Mayfair
Farms<http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?et=1103561440419&s=3567&e=001JiKpHru7rVupqAMddip1malCghn4WWdPPozk9vAqmk4h8nbq9I_To0-2pmbs3h0hlB89HAmMmvEiO1yilF0hAtY-5eWazXc3DOWsNPkxotnpGCJpTRg1bJbk6AVPossQdxyGiAbMV9E=>in
West Orange, NJ from 6-9pm.
*

*Register and pay online
$50*<http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?et=1103561440419&s=3567&e=001JiKpHru7rVv7RNoELdeRF5r4lotbGv7pzLFnPzGjZSHFWmUl3VQyxx7vwZzfv_QGqTnMMNCK8f2nhZqwOKBxgGfXuaIz9G956TRgBhfPhOvB9oyIz22ljk_tWIrVtiRERcpgIrRdLZg=>.
There are two forms: You must complete the PayPal portion to pay online via
credit card or call (201) 998-5133. Those not paid in advance can expect to
wait in line the night of the event.

*Walk-in price of $60.* People often ask, "Why the increase?" This is a
volunteer-based event and having an exact head count is critical so that the
venue can plan appropriately for food, parking, and safety. When the event
had only 150 guests, it was no big deal. Now that we routinely have 300-400
people in attendance, it is much more important!

New this year, you have the option to create a
profile<http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?et=1103561440419&s=3567&e=001JiKpHru7rVsfcFj6I7nf0F2lTOxOLuyyqElYJVueRJYqpb1-XSPJkkC3mO_xcKQP3hnSIhWe5unZ9EehCxTC_DnKW-iJCvc1IrvUm-vmYrbPwwu1PH82ZQ==>on
our NJ MarCom social networking site if you'd like to start meeting
people early in this exclusive peer-to-peer online forum. Add some photos,
create a blog post, and engage with the leaders of these NJ-based non-profit
professional organizations. They offer great value and connections to
bolster your career. You can also continue a dialog with NJMarcom on

Fwd: MyJobTIGER LinkedIn Tops 70 Million Users; Includes Over One Mi

Date: Jul 13, 2010 8:26 PM
Subject: MyJobTIGER LinkedIn Tops 70 Million Users; Includes Over One
Million Company Profiles
To: <socialmediaconsortium@yahoogroups.com>

Professional social network LinkedIn <http://www.linkedin.com/> now has 70
million members, according to the company's home page. The company hit 60
million users<http://techcrunch.com/2010/02/11/linkedin-now-60-million-strong/>
in
February, and has been growing fast, especially in international markets.
LinkedIn's network's CEO, Jeff
Weiner,<http://www.crunchbase.com/person/jeff-weiner> stated
in a blog post last fall that half of LinkedIn's membership is
international. The company is also listing one million company profiles,
which are similar to a user profile.

Weiner tells us that the fastest growth LinkedIn is seeing is in
international markets.
LinkedIn has mitigated the growth in international markets with expansion in
international offices in The
Netherlands,<http://eu.techcrunch.com/2010/01/06/linkedin-opens-first-office-in-mainland-europe-based-in-amsterdam/>
and India,<http://techcrunch.com/2009/12/15/linkedin-furthers-expansion-in-india-with-local-office-and-media-partnerships/>
two
areas where LinkedIn is growing rapidly.

The network has also been adding features continuously over the past six
months to broaden LinkedIn's reach across the web, adding a deeper Twitter
integration,<http://techcrunch.com/2010/05/25/linkedin-deepens-integration-with-twitter-becomes-a-full-fledged-client/>
opening
up an API, providing a plugin with Microsoft
Outlook<http://techcrunch.com/2009/11/09/social-networks-continue-to-rally-around-twitter-as-linkedin-goes-tweet-crazy-too/>
and
enhancing sharing
options.<http://techcrunch.com/2010/04/21/linkedin-launches-url-shortener-enhances-sharing-options/>

But while LinkedIn is looking to bring its platform to the greater web,
there's a tremendous amount of potential to use the data the network has on
its side to add additional functionality to both users and companies. Weiner
recently told us that data is incredibly important part of LinkedIn's future
as a network. And while we can't reveal what those data features are at the
moment, it's safe to say that we will be seeing a number of new initiatives
coming from LinkedIn leveraging the wealth of professional content on the
network.

Judaism is to provide vision, leadership and programmatic support to Reform
Jewish congregations and to perpetuate and advance Reform Judaism. The Union’s
staff of about 300 professionals and support staff provide congregations and
their members with creative programming ideas for all areas of synagogue life,
including worship, education and social action. The staff also provides ongoing
consultation and problem solving for member congregations and works to
anticipate and meet their needs in a rapidly changing environment. The Union
also operates the Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism in Washington, DC,
and twelve camps. 

 
The Union recently underwent a significant restructuring.  While work was
already underway to determine how best to restructure the Union, the current
economic crisis accelerated the process. To advance the work of the movement and
provide services that take advantage of the aggregate strength of the
congregations, each congregation is assigned a Congregational Representative who
is the primary contact for the congregation and is responsible for ensuring the
congregation has the resources and specialists it needs. Congregational
representatives, union rabbis and lay leader liaisons work in one of four
Congregational Support Centers or remotely and a wide range of specialist
consultants are located across North America.  The Congregational Consulting
Group (CCG) was also formed in 2009 as part of URJ’s reorganization to more
effectively provide a diverse range of services to its members with the goal of
strengthening member congregations and their professional and lay leadership.
Collaborative work teams cut across specific areas of expertise and new research
and evaluation functions enables the Union to lead with new ideas and vision.
New technologies enable the Union to operate more effectively and efficiently as
it tracks its work and regularly evaluates its efforts.
 
THE POSITION:
 
URJ seeks a Director of Consulting Services to enhance its Congregational
Consulting Group (CCG) into an even more dynamic, “client focused”, center of
experts and resources for its member congregations. The URJ leadership has
described the CCG as being at the heart of how we serve our member
congregations.
 
Today there are nearly 40 CCG fulltime and part time consultants working
throughout North America. Many have been part of the earlier URJ departments
whose mission was to support congregations with new programs and resources as
well as to assist with problem solving. CCG consultants have recently been
organized into five content groups; leadership development, synagogue
communities, synagogue systems, youth, and lifelong learning. This matches the
URJ lay leadership governance structure.  
 
The new Director will be challenged to reshape a consulting service that
introduces new approaches, new consultants and new technology to assist
congregations to develop creative, impactful, and sustainable solutions. S/he
will be responsible for creating the strategic direction and enhance methods of
effectively delivering services. The Director will lead a review of the
consulting service programs and  provide expertise for “state of the art”
enhancements to ensure that engagement with member congregations achieve optimum
impact. S/he will evaluate the work of current consultants and where
appropriate, recruit new consultants with expertise in areas that reflect the
needs and concerns of member congregations.  The Director will be asked to
develop training programs for the CCG team and other staff throughout the URJ
system to enhance the consulting skills required to effectively engage
congregations. Building a department culture, interdisciplinary collaboration
and methods for supervision and evaluation will be important measures of
success.
 
The leadership seeks a skilled manager who is capable of directing teams of
professionals, many of whom are renowned experts in their fields. The Director
will be responsible for increasing awareness of the CCG’s resources, both
internally and externally, through meetings at congregations, presentations and
other methods developed with the support of the URJ Marketing and Communications
team. S/he must establish systems of communication and coordination that will
keep all stakeholders in the organization and congregations aware of consulting
contacts and results.  The Director will service on the URJ Senior Leadership
Team.

 
The new Director will have a graduate degree in organization development,
nonprofit management, or other fields that are relevant to leading a consulting
group. Experience with an organization that delivers consulting or other member
services in the nonprofit or business sectors or professional associations will
be valued. Management experience including leading a department, supervising a
staff of skilled professionals and bottom-line responsibility for budget,
marketing, resources and results is an important qualification. Knowledge about
the nuances of nonprofit leadership, synagogues and issues affecting Jewish
communities will be important.
