Meet Sandy Wigler, co-chair of education of The Associated’s Jewish Women’s Giving Foundation (JWGF). This Pikesville native talks about the program, what makes her tick and an upcoming event with author Marlene Trestman.

When Sandy Wigler returned to Pikesville in 2015, after 25 years living in Howard County, she was looking for a way to reconnect with the Jewish community. When she discovered Jewish Women’s Giving Foundation (JWGF) in 2018, this Pikesville native knew this was a chance for her to join a collective of like-minded women who were connecting their giving with their Jewish values. 

Since then, she has taken on a leadership role – this year serving as JWGF’s co-chair of education – along with Risa Alberts. Together they have put together a Book Talk with Marlene Trestman, who will discuss her newest release, Most Fortunate Unfortunates: The Jewish Orphans’ Home of New Orleans. It is free and open to everyone. We had a chance to speak with Sandy to learn more about the program – and a little about what makes her tick.
