(New York, NY -- August 21, 2011) Terry Marks has been named Chief Development Officer for Jewish Association for Services for the Aged (JASA). “JASA is excited to welcome Terry Marks to our senior staff,” said Aileen Gitelson, CEO. “Her understanding of Wall Street corporations, as well as nonprofits and her experience developing senior service programs in California will help JASA in its mission of sustaining and enriching the lives of the aging in the New York metropolitan area so that they can remain in the community with dignity and autonomy.”
Terry is a native New Yorker, who before entering the nonprofit world worked as an executive on Wall Street. In 1989, she left Wall Street to become the Associate Publisher of an environmental magazine for children, securing corporate sponsors that allowed the magazine to be distributed to local school systems throughout the country.
In 1991, she moved to California where she started her own nonprofit consultancy, with offices in Los Angeles and on the Central Coast. Terry served a variety of missions, including autism, the environment, arts, housing, and literacy—with special emphasis on senior service organizations. She helped create and fund adult daycare programs, senior peer counseling programs, and other comprehensive senior services. Terry was also an instructor and collaborator for more than 10 years at the Center for Nonprofit Management in Los Angeles, as well as a lecturer on a national basis for nonprofit professionals and organizations that sought strategic growth initiatives.
Ready for a change and a return to her New York City roots, (as well as being closer to her 96 year mother, Harriet), Terry is excited to serve as JASA’s Chief Development Officer.
