As the CEO of the National Council of Jewish Women (NCJW), Sheila Katz leads an organization of more than 250,000 advocates who make change happen at the local, state and national levels.  Through meaningful education, strategic advocacy and supporting the 56 local NCJW sections in direct service, Sheila works to empower Jewish women and allies to engage in work that impacts those at the margins of society while centering the most impacted through partnerships and coalitions. Since becoming CEO, Sheila has led the organization to more than double the number of NCJW advocates working to ensure that the rights of women, children and families are protected, translated into public policy and upheld in our courts.
