Founded in 1922 as a gathering place for Denver's Jewish community, the JCC has grown into a vibrant, multigenerational organization whose impact extends well beyond any single building or program. Today, JCC Denver is a place where people of all backgrounds come to connect, learn, grow, and belong. 

The Chief Financial Officer (CFO) is a key member of the Executive Leadership Team and a strategic partner to the CEO.
