Mikki Futernick Presented by The Foundation of the Greater Miami Jewish Federation
I came from a family that believed in giving their time to benefit the community. My father was the chairman of the Dade County Welfare Planning Council, which was a precursor to the United Way. My mother started the first Girl Scout Troop for Developmentally Disabled Girls in Dade County. We weren’t wealthy, but my parents felt that they had
to share. They gave small amounts of money to many different charities. As I grew up, I knew that was something I would have to do as well. After I married, I became involved in several community organizations. I am a past president of the National Council of Jewish Women, the Women’s Division of the Greater Miami Jewish Federation (GMJF), and the Israel Children’s Centers, as well as a past chairman of the South Dade Branch of GMJF.
