Wendy Goldberg is a founding board member and the Executive Director of Tri-Faith Initiative.

For over 20 years, she has worked with clergy, lay leaders, social sector and nonprofit organizations, community leaders, and local educators to make interfaith cooperation a social norm. Wendy leads from her value of courageous living.

A believer in Tri-Faith’s audacious experiment — even when many said it could not be done — Wendy loves the work of meeting congregants, clergy, and local leaders to talk about the shifting religious landscape, religious pluralism, and how to grow an unprecedented interfaith initiative that transforms lives and communities.

Wendy is chair of the Greater Omaha Chamber of Commerce’s Commitment to Opportunity, Diversity, and Equity (CODE) Advisory Council, on the advisory boards of The Journal of Interreligious Studies and UNO Tell All the Truth Project, a LeadDiversity and Racial Equity Institute’s Racial Equity Workshop alum.

Wendy is a 50 Over 50 honoree, and a finalist in the Visionary category for Omaha’s Inspire Award.

A fourth-generation Omahan, she served on Temple Israel’s Board of Trustees for 10 years, including a two-year term as congregation president. She served on the Temple Israel staff for seven years as Program Director.

Wendy earned an MA in Communication and a graduate certificate in Creative Writing at the University of Nebraska at Omaha and has served on the staff of Project Harmony.
