Marcia Cohodes

Marcia Cohodes became an advocate for children with special needs following her older son’s diagnosis of a cognitive disability on the autism spectrum at 19 months. Her incentive to take a leadership role was fueled by the desire to give her son an equal opportunity to participate in the Jewish community. Prior to retiring, Marcia was an investment banker in the municipal securities industry. She lives in Minneapolis with her husband, David Goldsteen, and their three children.
