Regional Subsidized Speakers Program

The Northern New Jersey Region – Federation of Jewish Men’s Clubs has instituted the Regional Subsidized Speakers Program to meet the following goals and objectives:

To provide member Clubs with a resource for dynamic speakers dealing with a diverse number of topics of interest to our Jewish Community.
To disseminate pre-packaged publicity materials for each Subsidized Speaker Program.
To encourage Club participation in the Program by providing a subsidy of up to $100 per speaker and up to $200 per club per year for approved programs.
To provide each Club with ongoing support for the development of each of these programs.
To consult with each club in developing follow-up activities for each of our subsidized programs.
To encourage Clubs to participate in the FJMC Torch Award Program.

To encourage club participation, the region will subsidize up to two programs annually for up to $100 each. Please follow these simple steps to receive your subsidy:

To be eligible, you must book the speaker through the Speaker Bureau.
If two clubs have a joint program, each club can apply for a subsidy.
