Jason Garden's philosophy on supporting Jewish organizations, Jewish causes and Jews in need is simple: If we don't take care of one another, who will? That's why he can be spotted at JUF and AIPAC events or volunteering with The ARK and delivering food packages through Maot Chitim.

During business hours, Jason oversees the Midwest division for Citibank, serving as the sole financial advisor in the company's Chicago office. His leadership was recognized nationally at Citibank's leadership conference in New York.

Jason's role as a Jewish community leader is growing as well: he is a member of the 2019 National Young Leadership Cabinet, the Jewish Federations of North America's elite leadership training program.
