Marti Oppenheimer, the current chairperson of the JSEI Affiliates Advisory Committee and wife of H. Tony Oppenheimer, grandson of Jules & Doris Stein, has been involved the JSEI Affiliates since moving to southern California in the mid 1990's.

Marti's history of charitable involvement is noteworthy. As a young professional, she became an active member of the Junior League, the Women's Club and the Jewish Federation, while living in the state of Texas.

A move to Kansas City introduced Marti to a variety of new organizations including serving as a Board member of the Jewish Community Center of Kansas City, a founder of the Oppenheimer Stein Sculpture Collection, and a member of the Foundation Board at the Johnson County Community College.

A strong commitment to women's health brought her to leadership roles with the American Cancer Society, the Menorah Medical Center Auxiliary and the Breast Cancer Advisory Board of the University of Kansas Medical Center.

In addition to her involvement with the Affiliates, she is involved with other area charities including serving as a member of the Board of Governors for the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, serving on the Advisory Board of Boys Town, member of the Collection Committee at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, and a member of the Music Center's Blue Ribbon organization.

Marti is vice-president of the B.E.S.T. Foundation and is on the Advisory Board of the Oppenheimer Brothers Foundation. The hands-on experience she has gained in working with these diverse non-profit boards and her own family foundation is invaluable.
