Eugene Stein

As a member of The Foundation’s Investment Committee, I have helped maintain a disciplined investment process which has produced good investment results.  As a trustee, I am most proud to play a role in furthering The Foundation’s work in assisting Jewish philanthropists to be more effective and more strategic.
