TAMPA — Gulf Coast Jewish Family & Community Services announced Sandra Braham as its president and CEO, effective March 21.

Braham has more than 20 years of leadership experience with nonprofits, most recently serving as CEO of the Young Women's Christian Association, according to a statement. In that role, she led 450 employees and managed an annual budget of more than $30 million.

In her new role as CEO of the GCJFCS, Braham will be responsible for overseeing more than 500 staff members and working with 67 different programs across 37 Florida counties.

Braham replaces interim president and CEO Eric Feder, who held the position since January 2015, according to the statement. Feder took over as interim CEO following the death of the organization's previous CEO, Rochelle Tatrai-Ray, in 2014.

“We took our time, conducted a through process and vetted several qualified candidates,” Jay Miller, GCJFCS board chair, says of the lengthy selection process. “Dr. Braham was chosen unanimously by our internal audiences who are impressed with her proven leadership, her desire to contribute to a healthy internal culture and her willingness to advocate on behalf of the communities we serve.”
