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

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