Carrie Bornstein has dedicated her career to creating a Jewish community that is accessible and welcoming to all. As Principal of Carrie Bornstein Consulting, she helps Jewish organizations develop strategic clarity and leadership alignment - without overcomplicating everything - so they can face the future with confidence. She spent twelve years as CEO of Mayyim Hayyim Living Waters Community Mikveh and Education Center, and has written extensively on inclusiveness, mental health in the Jewish community, and surrogacy. She lives in Sharon, MA, with her husband, three children, and their assertive whoodle, Muchacha. 

She likes to spend her free time knitting, crocheting, playing Mah Jongg, and performing in Kismet Improv’s house team, Fibrous Materials. Though she has worked closely with boards of directors for nearly 20 years at Mayyim Hayyim and in her consulting work, this will be her first time officially wearing a board member hat herself. She’s excited to join a stellar group of leaders and to bring her skills and experience to an organization that strengthens individuals and communities in such inspiring ways.
