The quality of professional and voluntary leadership in the 40 YM-YWHA’s in the metropolitan New York area was evaluated here today at the conclusion of a three-day conference held by the New York metropolitan section of the National Jewish Welfare Board. Principal speakers included Sanford Solender, executive vice-president of the JWB, and Graenum Berger, consultant on community centers and camps to the Federation of Jewish Philanthropies of New York.
The conference marked the 50th anniversary of the section. Awards were given to community leaders who have devoted many years of service to the JWB program. Among the prominent recipients of the awards were Ben Touster, M. Maldwin Fertig, George Frankenthaler, Louis Kraft and Milton Weill.
