G

erald Bayer always want-
ed to work for a Jewish
agency.
When he got his mas-
ter's degree, he did an internship
at the Jewish Home for Aged in
Toledo, figuring if he worked
hard enough he could get hired.
He did.
Now, several years and a few
jobs later, Mr. Bayer, of Oak
Park, is returning to Jewish com-
munal work. On Monday, he be-
gins his job as director of
Resettlement Service.
"I wanted to return to the Jew-
ish community," Mr. Bayer said.
'When the opportunity with JFS
came about, I was anxious to see
if I could get the position."
With his new post, Mr. Bayer
will oversee the initial reception
and resettlement process of new
Americans in the Detroit area.
The job became available when
staff restructuring occurred in
January.
"I'm going in with a blank
slate," he said. "At first I'd like to
watch and learn what's going on.
I'm not going in with any pre-
conceived ideas. I plan to man-
age a cost-effective program. I
don't know if that was the case
before, but I like to make sure I
do things effectively."
Mr. Bayer does not expect the
Russian emigres to be the only
community served by Resettle-
ment Service.
"We don't know what's going
to happen in South Africa," he
said. "What if it becomes too dan-
gerous for South African Jews to
stay in their country? We don't

know what the future is going to
bring."
Mr. Bayer comes to JFS from
Oakland Family Services, where
he spent five years as director of
Employee Assistance Service, a
division of Oakland Family Ser-
vices which acts as a referral
agency for personnel of member
organizations who are experi-
encing personal problems.
Mr. Bayer previously spent
three years as an evaluator at
Jewish Vocational Service and a
total of eight years working in the
business field for "a change of
pace." He also served on an eth-
nic task force in Oak Park and
on an ethnic and cultural con-
cerns committee.
Mr. Bayer received a degree in
psychology from Oakland Uni-
versity and received his master's
in social work from the Univer-
sity of Michigan in 1978. ❑
