COMMUNITY BUILDERS: In the democratic spirit of the American tradition, presidents of Jewish organiza- tions are elected for a limited term of service in that posi- tion. However, they remain in the highest echelon of the policy-making body of the organization. The rotating sys- tem serves to bring forth new personalities into top leader- ship from the ranks of committed membership. Different is the status of executive vice preside They are the professionals who conduct the day-to-WI work. They are the spark plugs of the organization, plan- ning programs and seeing to it that the policy laid down by the lay leadership is carried out. They remain in their positions until they retire. This is only natural. Jewish communal life is based to a great extent on the abilities of the executive vice presidents. One such able vice president who is now retiring after some 35 years of active service is Robert I. Hiller, affection- ately called "Bob" by his friends. His record of initiative and achievement in the field of communal work is very high. He especially distinguished himself as executive vice president in the Baltimore Jewish Federation. Prior to coming to Baltimore he served as executive vice president of the Pittsburgh Jewish Federation from 1956 to 1965, and as associate director of the Cleveland Federation. He began his professional career in Detroit. He helped prepare many professionals for chief executive and department head posi- tions with major Jewish federations. During the 14 years which Hiller served as profes- sional head of the Baltimore Jewish Federation, he provided and directed consultations to national and international organizations engaged in self-studies and reorganization. They included the Council of Jewish Federations, the Joint Distribution Commit- tee and the Jewish Welfare Board. In Baltimore, Hiller introduced important innovations in the Jewish community. Among other projects, he de- veloped the concept for the Institute for Jewish Com- munal Service — a dual master's degree program in social work and Jewish studies conducted jointly by the University of Maryland and the Baltimore He- brew College. He has also served on the faculty and on the advisory board of the University of Maryland School of Social Work. A DISTINGUISHED MISSION: Two years ago he decided to retire. But the American Jewish community did not want to lose him. The Council of Jewish Federations, the central body of all the federations in the U.S. and Canada, induced him to succeed the extremely talented professional leader Philip Bernstein, who at that time de- cided to retire from his position as executive vice president of the CJF — which recognized his contribution to Ameri- can Jewish communal life by establishing a Philip Berns- tein Training Center for Federation Personnel. Hiller ac- cepted the offer, but only on condition that he hold this highly selective and prestigious post for not more than two years. The two years are now expiring and "Bob," very satis- fied with what he has accomplished for the federation movement during this short period of time, is turning over his mantle to Carmi Schwartz — a noted federation profes- sional leader — himself remaining a consultant. Among the numerous stratagems by which pride endeavors to recommend folly to regard, scarcely one meets with less success than Nobody sellg \ diamo for less.
