Deborah Stadtner

JFCS Board member Deb Stadtner is devoted to philanthropic work in the Jewish community. After a successful 20-year career in market research, she now focuses considerable time on building a thriving and meaningful community in Marin and beyond.

When her oldest of 4 children started preschool at the Osher Marin Jewish Community Center (OMJCC), Deb began volunteering at the school. This experience ignited a passion for serving others. In the years since, she has become a beloved leader in the Jewish community—volunteering and/or serving on the boards of numerous organizations including the OMJCC (including as President), Brandeis Marin, Jewish Community High School of the Bay, Bay Area Jewish Healing Center, URJ Camp Newman, AIPAC, Jewish Community Federation and San Francisco Hillel.

Deb was first introduced to JFCS when her daughter participated in YouthFirst’s Impact Year for teens. (Later, her two youngest sons also participated in JFCS’ YouthFirst programs). She describes their experiences as incredibly impactful, as they provided her children with an understanding of the need for JFCS’ services and an opportunity to connect personally with the Jewish community.
