President

Elan Weinberger, METNY President

I am very excited to work this year as the METNY USY Regional President. It will be a year filled with fun, excitement and immense growth for our region. We will teach more about Israel, give more money to charity and get more members for our region to create a better and greater METNY region than ever before. Before this year I have held many titles in numerous USY affiliated positions. In the year of 2008-2009 I was my chapter’s SATO VP. In the 2009-2010 year I held the office of Koach IA VP. This past year I have held the position of METNY IA VP. This culmination of experience has given me the wherewithal and the insight to make the METNY region the best it can be! I decided to run for president because I wanted to give back to the organization that has truly shaped my life. USY has given me friends I will never forget and has taught me things that I never would have learned outside of USY. USY  has shown me my leadership abilities and has given me a greater sense of jewish identity. I look forward to having a great year with all of you and am very excited to see METNY grow!

Sincerely,

Elan Weinberger
