Jewish Board of Family and Children's Services (JBFCS)

چکیده
In February of 1978, the Jewish Board of Guardians (JBG) and the Jewish Family Services (JFS), two large social service agencies belonging to the Federation of Jewish Philanthropies (FJP) in New York City, merged to become the Jewish Board of Family and Children's Service (JBFCS) . The merger was prompted by the retirement of the executive director of JFS, but occurred against the background of a long history of attempted mergers of FJP-affiliated agencies . Arrangements for the merger were worked out jointly by the two agencies over a two-year period, overcoming various points of resistance. Through this merger, however, JBFCS became one of the largest social service and mental health agencies in the country.
