Recently, Mr. Levine has focused on organizational change and improvement, realigning JCC’s service system to allow it to more responsively and effectively deliver services to Chicago’s wide spread Jewish community.

In addition to his JCC responsibilities, Mr. Levine has served as a consultant on organizational change and improvement to school districts and community organizations, has published articles on organizational change and has presented at numerous conferences on the subject. A native of New York, he is a graduate of City College of New York where he studied Biology and Columbia University’s Graduate School of Social Work.
