Becky Adelberg, Founder of Community Connect

“Take this vision and Bring it to life” is the tag line of Community Connect Consultants. My guest today, Becky Adelberg, the Founder of Community Connect. She has a variety of experience working in the Jewish community. She is currently the Chicago Manager of Reboot. During her career Becky has worked to engage young adults. A few of the organizations she’s worked for are The JCC Chicago, 20’s & 30’s Division, American Zionist Movement, Chicago Division, Jewish Women’s International. She is also a mentor at 1871, Chicago, a voice over artist and a children's yoga teacher. She holds a BA in Communications from the University of Kansas, an MA in Jewish Studies & Education, with an emphasis on spirituality, from Siegal College of Jewish Studies and a Certificate in Jewish Leadership from Northwestern and Spertus Institute of Jewish Learning.I am impressed by Becky’s ability to bring people together. Every event Becky organizes is well run and efficient. The programs that Becky manages and creates show how her skills foster growth in the community. Additionally, Becky emphasizes a social aspect to everything she does. She defines social as giving back. All the entrepreneurs that work with her provide a service to the community.

The key take-aways in this podcast are: 

1.    The importance of fostering and cultivating relationships. Becky suggests getting to know what inspires and motivates people.

2.    The importance of creating partnerships and collaborations. “We work better when we are together” says Becky, so join forces.

3.    Help people follow their passions. If you have an idea, Becky encourages us to dive in and not be afraid to try something. 

Becky has worked with many to start their businesses, including help me start Bridges 613. If you are inspired by Becky’s work you can reach her at:
