History / Biographical: A native of Montreal, Phyllis Amber obtained her B.A. from Sir George Williams University in 1966 and her Masters of Social Work (MSW) from McGill University in 1968, specializing in Community Organization and Planning. She worked as a Planning Associate for Allied Jewish Community Services (now Federation CJA) from 1968-1982, where the Planning Department studied and researched changing needs, lacks and gaps in the community to determine where services should be developed and funded. In this position she staffed various lay committees and commissions according to priorities established by the Planning Committee, among them the Fait français committee, which was created in response to the rise in Quebec nationalism starting from the Quiet Revolution of 1968 and continuing through the election of the Parti québéois in 1976. After leaving AJCS, she served as Planning Consultant to the Mount Sinai Hospital Center through the 1980s, where she developed position papers and proposals for planned new missions and programs related to the move from the Laurentians to Montreal. Phyllis Amber died on February 12, 2023
