Lay Leadership


Ronna Borenstein-Levy, President

Ronna Borenstein-Levy

Ronna’s academic background and work experience has focussed on healthcare marketing communications. She has worked for numerous hospitals, most recently the two local hospitals – Sibley and Suburban – that are part of Johns Hopkins Medicine. She also worked for a decade as a marketing promotion manager for the Hewlett-Packard Medical Products Group.

Currently, Ronna is the principal consultant for Levy Strategic Communications. She has served on many boards, including the Greater Bethesda Chamber of Commerce, where she held officer positions for several years; the BCC High School Educational Foundation; and Shared Horizons. Originally from Boston, Ronna moved to the DC area in 1994 with her husband, Allan, and two sons Joseph and Brandon. Allan is a retired management consultant; Joseph works at Oracle in Seattle and Brandon works at NIH. Quirky fact: In her mid-20s she was president of the Jewish Young Adult Center of Greater Boston – a program division of Jewish Community Centers with a membership of 600+ young adults. Ronna has remarked, “So I have come full circle in my alignment with organizations with Jewish roots.”

While JCA's Board members bring a variety of skill sets and perspectives to their roles, we are unified with a common mission: ensuring that older adults in the Greater Washington region are able to live their best lives possible. -Ronna Borenstein-Levy
