Alyssa Latala joined as Chief Experience Officer, part of Am Shalom's Executive Team, in July 2017. She previously served as Director of Communications. Before coming to Am Shalom, Alyssa was a program director for Big Tent Judaism, an independent, trans-denominational Jewish outreach organization. She's also worked for two non-profit consulting firms, a small family foundation and the Jewish United Fund of Metropolitan Chicago.

Alyssa manages Am Shalom's various communication platforms, including the KOL (our printed newsletter), KOLbytes (our weekly email), the Am Shalom website and our social media pages. She serves as a first point of contact for prospective and new members, as they begin their Am Shalom journey, and facilitates some of Am Shalom's adult programming and volunteer opportunities.

When she's not at the temple, Alyssa's favorite role is mom to her boys, Ben and Sam. She loves musical theater, reading, cooking and long walks with her 105 lb lap dog, Marty.
