Carla Silver: April 2017 Volunteer of the Month

National Council of Jewish Women Bergen County Section is pleased to announce that Carla Silver has been selected as its April 2017 Volunteer of the Month.

Carla grew up in the Bronx and Queens and earned a Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration and a Master of Science degree in Business Education from Baruch College in New York. She worked as a business education teacher for 3 1/2 years before moving to Bergenfield with her husband and daughter 41 years ago. She has two other children and was a stay-at-home mom for 14 years, devoting her energies to bringing up her children and volunteering for B’nai Brith Women, Temple Emeth and the Bergenfield PTAs.

Carla returned to the work force in 1995 and continued to work as an office manager in two different synagogues. She joined NCJW in 2012 and became a life member the next year. She has volunteered weekly at the Council Thrift Shop and at the Jewish Home at Rockleigh Gift Shop and continues to work as needed in other areas.

NCJW is delighted to recognize Carla Silver’s many contributions to bettering the lives of children with this month’s Volunteer of the Month award.
