The first step in the attempt of the Metropolitan League of Jewish Community Associations to revitalize club work by organizing the club leaders, was taken Sunday evening, when approximately one hundred men and women club leaders attended the first Metropolitan League Conference of Club Leaders held at the Educational Alliance.
The speakers included Dr. Henry Fleischman, chairman; Dr. Samson Benderly, Dr. Charles S. Bernheimer, of the Jewish Welfare Board, and Samuel Leff, field secretary in New York for the J. W. B. Dr. Mordecai Soltes and Louis Sobel, assistant director of the Bronx Y. M. H. A., led the discussion.
Among the subjects discussed by the speakers and club leaders attending the meeting were arrangements for periodic conferences, training of leaders to give them a more professional attitude, adequate payment of leaders and training along Jewish lines in history and religion so that club directors can diffuse such knowledge among their club members.
