Rita Sason, Jewish Family & Children's Service Director, Jewish Federation of Ocean County, NJ is the 2014 recipient of the Joseph S. Kaplan Memorial Scholarship Award. The scholarship includes a $1,000 travel stipend plus one half of conference registration.

AJFCA is proud to offer the Joseph S. Kaplan Memorial Scholarship stipend to send one professional or lay leader from one D or E sized member agency to the 2014 AJFCA Annual Conference in Montreal.

Joe made significant contributions to the Jewish Family service movement as board chair of his agency in New York and as a board member and officer of AJFCA. Joe loved the energy and opportunities present at the annual conference and he was particularly concerned about including as many of our member communities as possible.

Many thanks to the Joseph S. Kaplan Memorial Scholarship Award judges:
