Dr. Sandra Braham is President and CEO of Gulf Coast Jewish Family and Community Services (JFCS), a $57 million human social services agency with 650 employees. Under her transformational leadership, the company has added $25 million in revenue during her seven-year tenure. Gulf Coast JFCS operationalizes over 50 programs covering areas such as child welfare and adoption, elder services and housing, behavioral health, workforce development, Jewish family services, support for Holocaust survivors and refugee resettlement. Additionally, she spearheaded the launch of the St. Petersburg Police Department’s award-winning CALL program, an innovative approach to policing that sends social workers to respond to non-violent 911 calls.

Sandra has been married to her husband Eric for 27 years and they have three adult children. Her groundbreaking memoir, “An Angel for Detroit,” was released in the fall of 2022. Her story has received rave reviews for its candid, sometimes raw, emotional life experiences. The novel details her life being born and raised by a mother with schizophrenia, and spending time in foster care. It further illustrates the personal leadership and career journey that contributed to her success today. She loves to golf and was featured on a cover of African American Golf Digest Magazine, following an historic trip to Scotland.
