Barbra Gold, Director of the Support program for the Autonomy of Seniors in CIUSSS West-Central Montreal, took home the 2019 Dr. Herbert Shore Award from the Association of Jewish Aging Services (AJAS). This is the top award given by this North American Association and is presented to the outstanding executive professional who best exemplifies the goals and ideals of AJAS and service to Jewish older adults. Barbra was the first Canadian in the history of AJAS to be the organization’s Board Chair from 2009-2011. Donald Berman Maimonides and Donald Berman Jewish Eldercare are blessed to count Barbra as our remarkable leader. For over 25 years, Barbra has devoted herself to the most vulnerable members of our community and has paved a bright and visionary path to the future.  Congratulations on this well-deserved honour!
