Religious InstitutionsIllinois, United States11-50 Employees
Based in Schaumburg, Illinois, the American Conference of Cantors is a professional association within the Religious Institutions sector that focuses on Reform Judaism in North America. It promotes excellence among cantors by maintaining high standards for ordination and certification and by providing ongoing professional support, advocacy, and training. Its members are cantors who combine musical and liturgical leadership to guide congregations through life's joys and challenges. Beyond a traditional professional body, the ACC frames the cantor's vocation as a sacred calling that shapes sacred time and space within Jewish life, guiding congregations with music, prayer, and pastoral presence. It supports the Reform movement by advocating for cantors, fostering professional excellence, and partnering with affiliated organizations. A recent leadership development saw Rachel Roth assume the role of Chief Executive Officer in 2026, reflecting ongoing evolution within the organization, and the ACC refreshed its website in 2023 to improve accessibility.
