Welcome New Interim Managing Director

We are delighted to welcome Robyn Sperling as the interim Managing Director for the Jewish Federation of Madison. Robyn will work for JFM on a part-time basis, focusing on internal leadership and management; supporting staff, clarifying work goals, and ensuring programs and internal operations stay on track. She will also partner with our volunteer leadership behind the scenes and communicate with the Board of Directors.

Robyn holds a BS in Communications from Ohio University, an MEd. in Teaching and Curriculum from Harvard Graduate School of Education, and a PhD in Educational Leadership and Policy from New York University. In addition to working for the Jewish Federation of Madison, Robyn serves as Director of Research and Innovation at Families and Schools Together. We know her extensive experience will be a wonderful asset for JFM.

Robyn received the Miriam Singer Sulman Young Leadership Award in 2022 for her work as the chair of the Gan HaYeled Committee. She became a member of the Board and is an active member of the Community Grants committee.

Robyn and her husband, Zach Corrigan, are members of Congregation Shaarei Shamayim. Her kids, Ben (5th grade) and Nate (1st grade), are Gan HaYeled graduates and Camp Shalom campers.
