Bio
Becky Adelberg
It is a pleasure to recommend Elizabeth Gossage. I have known Elizabeth for years in various leadership capacities. She is a go-getter who always goes the extra mile without even being asked. She has vast experience working with nonprofits and in leadership roles. I am always grateful at the opportunity to work with her from her creativity to her optimism to her vast knowledge base of the Jewish community. Her passion shines through and anyone who gets to work with her is fortunate.
