From 2006 to 2008, Simon was the chairman of the board of the Montgomery County Community Foundation[1] and in 2016 Simon was elected chairman of the board of the Greater Washington Community Foundation.[2] In April 2016, Simon and his family were recognized by Interfaith Works as Humanitarians of the Year.[3][4]
