Listen "Meet Bernie - The Fed's community-championing Chairman"
Episode Synopsis
Bernie Yaffe qualified as an accountant in 1981 and became Chair of Trustees of The Fed in 2018.
In between those two major events, Bernie found himself living in South Africa, carrying out secret work for the Jewish community in the Soviet Union, clocking up a significant career with one of the world's most famous brands, and cultivated a music collection that almost defies belief.
As someone for whom success is "...making sure the organisation can deliver on its goals and targets and to plan for the future", Bernie speaks from the heart about the journey that took him from ordinary man to community insider, his pride at seeing The Fed ride out the most perilous waves of Covid-19, and how he envisages the future of the organisation - one he describes as "...less an old-age organisation, more an all-age organisation."
With plenty of laughter and an intense focus on community development and sustainability, this is one episode of Humans of The Fed you don't want to miss!
