Jolie Brislin named Jewish Communal Professional of the Year by Jewish Nevada

We are proud to announce that Jolie Brislin, ADL Nevada Regional Director, has been named Jewish Communal Professional of the Year by Jewish Nevada.

The Jewish Communal Professional of the Year Award is presented annually to an outstanding community professional and is awarded with participation in the JPro professional development conference in May.

Jolie’s distinguished accomplishments for 2021 included her leadership in passing AB231 through the Nevada Legislature, in support of meaningful Holocaust and genocide education throughout the state.  She also co-chaired the “Nevada Against Antisemitism” proclamation initiative, which received more than 200 signatures from elected officials and community organization leaders promising to stand with the local Jewish community as an ally and commit to providing support & solidarity.

ADL Nevada would also like to congratulate this year’s fellow awardees:

David L. Simon Young Leader of the Year: Matthew Levin of Reno
Mensch Volunteer of the Year: Jillian Potashnick of Las Vegas
Jewish Educator of the Year: Lauren Eisenberg of Las Vegas

We invite you all to join Jolie for the 2022 Jewish Nevada Annual Meeting, when they will recognize each of this year’s community awardees.  The event will take place on Tuesday, January 18, 2022 at 6:30 PM PT, for more information and to register to attend in-person or virtually please click here.
