JFSNEPA prides itself on the continuity and longevity of our staff. Through the experience and knowledge they bring to the job each day it has allowed the agency to thrive and grow throughout the years. Although their years at JFS vary one thing that Anne Boland, Don Minkoff, Maggy Bushwick and Peter Dunford all have in common, they along with JFS Executive Director Sheila Nudelman Abdo have been with JFS for over 20 years. The staff members were honored with the Distinguished Service Award at the 102nd Annual Meeting held in the Linder Room at the Scranton JCC on June 27, 2017.
