President's Message

Dan Mirer

When Jen and I moved to Colorado Springs eleven years ago and joined Temple Shalom, I never imagined that I would someday be so honored as to be your president. Maybe I never knew that I could care so much for an organization, or that I had the skills, or I would ever have the time. Despite my initial fears, I have made volunteering at Temple Shalom a priority in my life, and I look forward to serving you in my newest and most important role.
