Federation's Lasensky Resigns 9 Accepts
Top Communal Service Post in Winnipeg
Gerald C. Lasensky has res
igned from the Atlanta Jewish
Welfare Federation staff to ac
cept a promotion in his field of
communal service which will
take him to Winnipeg, Canada.
Lasensky completed five years
as Federation executive assis
tant in Atlanta on June 1. He
and his family plan to leave the
first of August.
In September, he will assume
his new post as executive di
rector of the Winnipeg, Canada,
Jewish Welfare Fund. This agen
cy, it • is expected, will soon
merge w r ith the Western Region,
Canadian Jewish Congress, into
the Winnipeg Jewish Commun
ity Council.
In libs letter of resignation,
Lasensky expressed “sincere ap
preciation to the officers, staff
and board of Federation for
your help and support in ful
filling my professional respon
sibilities.
“I shall remember Atlanta
and its committed leadership
with sincere admiration and
wash you all continued success
in meeting the needs of a dy
namic and vibrant commun
ity.”
Lasensky came to Georgia a
few days before the eventful
Six Day War which triggered
communal renewal and envigor-
ation in Atlanta as elsewhere in
America.
With a degree from Morning-
side College; Sioux City, Iowa,
he had received a masters de-
LASENSKY
gree in social work from the
University of Michigan graduate
school of social work with spec
ialization in community organi
zation and administration.
He worked for a while with
the Federations of Toledo.
Ohio, and Detroit.
In Atlanta, he had responsi
bility for a three-year period of
directing the Women’s Division
Campaign and the speakers bu
reau and other facets of the
Federation campaign.
He has had specific staff as
signments for total agency
budgeting and allocation. A
large part of his responsibility
was in the arena of community
relations in which he was par
ticularly effective. Besides
working with the Atlanta Com
munity Relations Committee, he
handled the publicity and pro
motion for the Federation cam
paign and for the Federation
special committees involving
Israel affairs, overseas, overseas
Jewry, Soviet Jewry, Jewish
grocers, Israel Independence
Day and Memorial observance
for the Six Million.
His year-round responsibility
for community interpretation
had brought him into close con
tact with the public and Jew
ish press, radio and television
for whose staffs he became pop
ular personality and fixture for
sources of information about the
Atlanta Jewsh community.
He had participated on two
study missions, one in 1969 with
UJA's Operation Israel and in
1971 when he attended the In
ternational Conference on Jew
ish Communal Service at He
brew University. Afterwards
he toured communal facilities
in Vienna and traveled to Ru
mania for conferences with
Grand Rabbi Moses Ro6en in
Bucharest.
His efforts in the arena of
public relations were recognized
nationally by the Council of
Jewish Federations and Welfare
Funds in 1971 for the weekly
series entitled “Jewish Federa
tion Presents” and in 1970 for
presentation of the “Multi-
Media Program-Commitment”
