Eve Coulson Bio

Eve Coulson has worked in the Jewish community for nearly 20 years, serving in various capacities as a resource on intermarriage issues as they affect individuals, couples, families and the community.  She created and chaired the first outreach committee at her synagogue in Princeton, NJ in 1992.  Serving for four years as the Assistant Director of the Jewish Outreach Institute in New York under Dr. Egon Mayer, her responsibilities included managing outreach training seminars for Jewish communal professionals, creating a professional network and providing support and technical advice to innovative programs funded by JOI in communities across North America.  She has led discussion and couples groups, and has written and spoken frequently on the subject.  She has been involved as a participant and organizer in numerous conferences on intermarriage issues.  She brings to the work a long-term interest in cross-cultural communication (based on studying the work of Edward T. Hall, author of The Hidden Dimension and The Silent Language).  Her prior work included community organizing, vocational counseling, and sales and merchandise training at Bloomingdale’s.  She is currently on the boards of Jewish Family and Children’s Service of Greater Mercer County (NJ), Lilith Magazine, and InterfaithFamily.com.
