Now more than ever, it's important the Chicago Jewish community is warm and welcoming to all. Max Grad is working hard to ensure that's the case. An analyst at Beam Suntory, Max is in his second year on the YLD Board, most recently stepping into the role of Vice President. On the board, a majority of his time is spent on the newly created Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) Committee.
When Max isn't busy making our community more inclusive, he makes time for his other passion, film. Max is currently on the associate board of the Chicago International Film Festival. Outside of his busy work days, Max's community involvement is what gives him his sense of purpose and belonging.
