Kaplan chairs Hadassah’s finance committee and sits on the national board. She was a member of Hadassah’s oversight and compliance committee; chair of Hadassah’s national Speakers Bureau and Major Gifts; served on the national finance committee; and was Hadassah Southern New Jersey region president. She is a member of Hadassah’s Circle of Founders and a Benefactor of Peace. A CPA, Kaplan received her B.S. in accounting from SUNY Binghamton and was a tax accountant at Touche Ross in Rochester, N.Y., and a senior tax manager at DeLoitte and Touche, Pittsburgh. 

“When I joined Hadassah, I learned what Hadassah does for Israel, why it does it, and why it is important,” Kaplan said. “Hadassah has given me endless opportunities to grow as a Jewish woman, a committed Zionist, and a passionate advocate for Hadassah’s medical research, youth villages, and Jewish continuity. I am proud to serve as HWZOA national treasurer and I look forward to contributing my professional expertise in finance and accounting to further Hadassah’s mission.”
