NEW YORK, Feb. 17 As we usher in the New Year, Tony Mann will take office as Board President at the Jewish Board of Family and Children Services (JBFCS)--an honor that recognizes Mann's twenty years of exceptional service to the agency. "Giving of oneself is more than a responsibility; it is a privilege," says Mann. "Getting involved in something larger than myself, such as JBFCS, has taught me the importance of our accomplishments--both big and small. It is our collective impact in the city that counts and we do this by taking small steps. This has inspired me to work even harder."
