Eighty professional workers on the staffs of national and local Jewish community relations agencies today formed a professional organization to be known as the Association of Jewish Community Relations Workers. Maurice B. Fagan, executive director of the Philadelphia Jewish Community Relations Council, was elected its first chairman.
The Association will seek to establish and maintain high standards for those engaged professionally in the Jewish community relations field. It will provide opportunities for the exchange of views and experiences on problems, programs and trends in community relations work. It will also encourage among Jewish community relations workers the fullest possible understanding of Jewish life and values and the application of Jewish ideals of social justice and human dignity.
The Archive of the Jewish Telegraphic Agency includes articles published from 1923 to 2008. Archive stories reflect the journalistic standards and practices of the time they were published.
