About this Conference

The 2016 JPRO Network Conference is bringing together hundreds of Jewish community professionals for professional development and networking; showcasing the leading thinkers, activists and teachers who are advancing our communities and the Jewish people.  The program will highlight best practices and newest developments, at times questioning assumptions as well as exploring creative solutions to existing issues.  There will be skill-strengthening workshops and social gatherings with ample opportunities for networking.  The conference is designed to enhance professional development, strengthening the professionals and the field in which they work.  Participants will be inspired and energized.

Strong networks and opportunities for career growth lead to higher levels of job satisfaction and career longevity.  A conference that brings together participants from diverse professional practices in the North American Jewish community, at all levels, directly contributes to building a pipeline for future leadership.  Participants have the opportunity to learn from role models, consider varying career paths, and meet colleagues doing similar work in different fields and localities.  This is what a professional field looks like.

To be of use

The people I love the best
jump into work head first
without dallying in the shallows
and swim off with sure strokes almost out of sight.
They seem to become natives of that element,
the black sleek heads of seals
bouncing like half-submerged balls.

I love people who harness themselves, an ox to a heavy cart,
who pull like water buffalo, with massive patience,
who strain in the mud and the muck to move things forward,
who do what has to be done, again and again.

I want to be with people who submerge
in the task, who go into the fields to harvest
and work in a row and pass the bags along,
who are not parlor generals and field deserters
but move in a common rhythm
when the food must come in or the fire be put out.

The work of the world is common as mud.
Botched, it smears the hands, crumbles to dust.
But the thing worth doing well done
has a shape that satisfies, clean and evident.
Greek amphoras for wine or oil,
Hopi vases that held corn, are put in museums
but you know they were made to be used.
The pitcher cries for water to carry
and a person for work that is real.

Marge Piercy, Circles on the Water, 1982.
