Michelle Alkon has been connected to Gateways since before it existed. She became a board member of Etgar L’Noar in 2000, when her son, Ben became a student. A member of Etgar’s executive board, she was the co-chair of the merger committee that created Gateways 11 years ago. Michelle proudly served on the Gateways executive board and board of directors and, subsequently, as part of the Gateways Growth Group (G3) committee that focuses on innovation and growth for the organization. Michelle has been an advocate, supporter and advisor for Gateways but believes fervently that Gateways has given her and her family more than she could ever begin to give back.
