I met with the Hagley Museum on Tuesday to discuss collaborating on a March program lecture with Hasia Diner, two-time winner of the National Jewish Book Award. She will be discussing her book,
Julius Rosenwald: Leaving A Legacy, and how he rose from modest means as the son of a peddler to the helm of Sears Roebuck and Company, to Passionate Philanthropist. We are fortunate to partner with Hagley on their
Author Talk program.
We were notified on Wednesday that Federation was named Honorable Mention recipient in PR Daily’s 2018 Nonprofit PR Awards in the branding category. This national awards competition recognizes nonprofits who effectively articulate their message in a thoughtful and compelling manner.
I spoke with a colleague at American Associates Ben-Gurion University (AABGU) on Thursday about coordinating a joint Delaware program on April 14th. We will be screening the film,
Ben-Gurion, Epilogue, facilitated by community leader, Toni Young.
