“It is an honor to have the opportunity to serve one of the most prestigious and impactful agencies in the Chicago Jewish community,” said Freimuth.
Freimuth has served the JCC Chicago board of directors for more than five years and was highly involved in bringing JCC Chicago President and CEO Alan Sataloff to Chicago in 2013.
“[Alan and I] share a vision for JCC Chicago that focuses on growth, expansion and trying new ideas,” said Freimuth. “It is our turn to show the Jewish community that we understand the value of giving back and that our link in the chain that is over 4,000 years old is as strong and solid as it has ever been.”
As leader of the board of directors, Freimuth will make policy decisions and oversee JCC Chicago operations.
“[Kyle and I] have worked closely together for many years and he has the background, experience and determination to succeed,” said Stuart Hochwert, past JCC Board President and President of Prime Publishing LLC.
Freimuth holds an M.B.A from the Kellogg Graduate School of Management and currently works as Senior Vice President and Group Head of Commercial Lending at First Midwest Bank, Chicago.
Freimuth hails from Cleveland, Ohio where his family was actively involved at the JCC. He and his wife, Wendy Freimuth, currently live with their son and daughter in Glenview.
New incoming 2014-2015 board members also include Sharon Laderman and Robyn Tavel of Glencoe and David Nankin of Highland Park.
