Sally Preminger, Assistant Vice President, Next Gen Initiatives for Chicago’s Jewish United Fund, has been named a Next Gen Jewish Federation Fellow.

The 18-month program of the Jewish Federations of North America has been launched to position key Federation staff across the continent as innovators in working with the next generation of leaders in the Jewish community. The program is made possible by a generous investment from the Jim Joseph Foundation.

Preminger, of Evanston, previously was director of JUF’s Young Leadership Division, and before that worked at Chicago Opera Theater and the Illinois Medical District Guest House Foundation. She is a graduate of Washington University in St. Louis, and originally is from Chapel Hill, N.C.
