NAPLES, Fla. - eTradeWire -- The Jewish Federation of Greater Naples has appointed five new board members and a new board vice president, while re-electing its remaining board members and all other members of its slate of officers, including returning board chair Dr. Nat Ritter.

Ritter, who assumed the board leadership role in spring 2023, is a retired orthodontist and Naples resident who previously practiced in Dayton, Ohio, for 35 years. He succeeded Jane Schiff, whose six-year tenure as board chair was capped by a successful $13 million capital campaign, culminating with the opening of the Nina Iser Jewish Cultural Center.

The 20,000-square-foot, two-story center on Pine Ridge Road has emerged as a hub of activity for the Naples Jewish community. The Greater Naples community is home to an estimated 12,000 individuals who identify as Jewish.
