Ginny Wasserman: May 2017

Ginny grew up in the Bronx, earned her BA at City College, her MSW at the Wurzweiler School of Social Work and was a doctoral candidate at Columbia University. She then worked as a psychotherapist and social worker in a number of community agencies and education and academic facilities. She retired in 2002 from Hackensack Medical Center after 20 plus years as a behavior health clinical supervisor and administrator.

After joining NCJW, she co-chaired the extremely interesting and highly successful Council Trips program for the past six years, participated in the human trafficking advocacy program, and served on program, study group and nominating committees.

Ginny and her pediatrician husband raised two daughters. Her two young grandchildren make her smile and keep her young, she says. She enjoys worldwide travel, the theatre and movies and is active in professional and community organizations.
