Glad to be here 🙂 We have never gotten feedback that our female staff made anyone feel limited. We didn’t davka try to only hire women. Although because our entire staff is part time, I don’t know how easy it would be for us to find a man to work for us. Generally, they are more responsible for the bread winning in the family, whereas women can work p/t and care for their children. be”H as we grow and can offer competitive f/t salaries, we’d be happy to add male staff members too. Our director of social services deals with the OTD crowd a lot. She started off as a volunteer – she approached us. When we had funding to hire someone she had already created a rapport with our members, so we went to her. In terms of our director of programming and networking, these women grew up Chasidic themselves and found happy, healthy places in the frum world.. So they are excellent resources to show people who have gone through pain that there is happiness on the other end. We have plenty of male speakers and rabbanim we connect members with, so there is no shortage of male voices for our members.
