Fellow in Synagogue Administration

The official statement of objectives and procedures for the Fellow in Synagogue Administration (FSA) program, reads in part…

The Fellow in Synagogue Administration (FSA) Program is the certification program of NAASE which affords synagogue executives the opportunity to demonstrate their leadership, professionalism, experience, competence and knowledge of the field. . . . The attainment of the Fellow in Synagogue Administration Certification recognizes one’s longevity in the field, participation and leadership in the association, and an advanced understanding of the required knowledge to be a successful synagogue executive.

We encourage all NAASE holders of FSA certification to explore the option of qualifying for an Amin Tzibur commission. This is an exciting new program and we we would be delighted to assist you in preparing for it. If you are still working towards your FSA, we welcome your questions about Amin Tzibur as well.

Past Recipients

NAASE is indeed proud of the Executive Directors who have committed themselves to professional competence and on-going professional growth, and we salute the current holders of FSA certification listed below. The listing is never complete though, as additional Executive Directors enter and complete the process of certification.

We extend a yasher koach to each of the recipients and to all the current participants engaged in the certification process. We invite all members to inquire about the program and to join with us in this most worthwhile process.

Yasher kochachem to all of you!
