About Jo Strausz Rosen

In memory of my parents, Lloyd and Bert Strausz, I am honored to serve as Executive Director of Development for Jewish Senior Life where I raise awareness and funding that supports programs for health, wellbeing and activities for our older adults in Assisted and Independent Living. For nine years, I was a Director of the American Technion Society supporting world class research.
