Promise Fund, a South Florida-based non-profit co-founded by Ambassador Nancy G. Brinker, announced that Audrey Brown has been named Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the organization.
With over 20 years of experience in the health care and insurance industry, coupled with her advocacy experience, Brown is a dedicated and proven leader. Before joining the Promise Fund, she served as president and CEO of the Florida Association of Health Plans, Inc. Prior to that, her extensive career included leadership roles with the Florida Office of Insurance Regulation, AvMed Health Plans, and the Executive Office of Governor Jeb Bush, reflecting her dedication to driving meaningful impact in Florida’s health care marketplace.
“Audrey brings an enormous amount of health care industry and policy experience to the Promise Fund,” said Ambassador Brinker. “She will play a critical role as we expand our geographic service area to help women throughout Florida, and we’re thrilled to have her on our team.”
Promise Fund reaches tens of thousands of women in Palm Beach, Broward and Martin Counties who are uninsured, underinsured or have limited or no access to healthcare. The organization, founded in 2018, is dedicated to increasing survivorship from cervical cancer and breast cancer by providing guided support and access to screenings, as well as early detection, treatment, and beyond.
To date, Promise Fund has reached 41,208 individuals through outreach and education and has impacted the lives of 14,576 women through access to screenings, diagnostics, and care.
“I know from first-hand experience that access to care is critical and early detection can improve health outcomes and save lives,” said Brown. “I am privileged to join the Promise Fund and work with the team to ensure we are removing barriers to access so that all women – both locally here in Palm Beach and ultimately across the state of Florida – can get screened and enter treatment at earlier stages to improve outcomes. Screening is a critical first step in ensuring that all women get the care they deserve, and the Promise Fund’s mission-driven work is changing lives.”
The Jewish Federation of South Palm Beach County (JFSPBC) has appointed Igor Alterman President and CEO of the organization. He leads a dynamic organization that serves as the central address for Jewish life in the greater Boca Raton, Florida area.
“I accepted the leadership role to not only harness the youthful vibrancy and growing numbers of Jewish families who have recently relocated to the region, but also to build upon the charitable foundation established by long-standing members of Boca Raton’s diverse Jewish community,” said Alterman.
Previously, as President and CEO of the Jewish Federation of Greater Dallas, he spearheaded record-breaking annual campaigns, full-scale organizational digital transformation, and unified the community in the aftermath of October 7th.
With dual master’s degrees in Nonprofit Management and Religious Education and experience spanning philanthropy, higher education, and Jewish communal leadership, he has a proven track record of advancing mission-driven organizations.
Prior to his Federation leadership, he served as Chief Executive Officer of the University of Miami Hillel, where he oversaw a multi-million-dollar capital campaign, facility expansion, and strategic partnerships with private foundations and international organizations. He also served at Hillel organizations at Cornell University and Ithaca College.
A Wexner Fellow and ROI Schusterman Community Member, his professional journey reflects a steadfast commitment to strengthening Jewish life through strong nonprofit leadership. Born in Russia and having lived and studied in Israel, Igor is deeply connected to the global Jewish community.
