Beth Tikvah’s Board of Governors is the
leadership body for our synagogue that to the
best of its abilities provides oversight to all of
the synagogue committees and manages our
financial affairs. Most of the Board members
are also committee chairs. The Executive
Committee, is a sub committee of the Board,
and consists of the President, 3 vice presidents,
Secretary, Treasurer and several members
at large. The Executive Committee is the
forum for detailed discussion of synagogue
issues and makes recommendations to the
Board of Governors for their consideration
and approval. The term of the Board is one
year, from December to November. Board
meetings are held monthly.

knowledge of investments, those with knowledge
of computers and software and those
able to comment on ritual matters.
