Oren graduated from Melbourne University with a Bachelor of Commerce degree majoring in Accounting and Management and he has worked and volunteered in the not for profit community sector using his skills in finance, strategy and operations. One of the main criteria for the recipient of the JGCSG is that he or she must use the Grant to improve their volunteering capacity, and hence the community at large. Oren plans to do just that. He is intending to do a course run by the Australian Institute of Company Directors. From Oren’s involvement in B’nai Akiva, his Shule, and the United Jewish Education Board, Oren has learned that to maximise an organisation’s effectiveness, it needs a professional who is well trained in governance and strategy. To quote Oren: “This course will provide me with the professional knowledge to create the most profound impact I can.” P P Frieda Shapiro Trustee of the JGCSG
