Leadership Lessons from a Lifetime, Ruth Messinger
2:00pm

Addressing responsibility in a Global Age, leading human rights activist shares leadership lessons gleaned from decades on the front lines of global issues. Discussion and reception follow. From 1998 to 2016, Messinger was the CEO of American Jewish World Service (AJWS), a New York-based international human rights and development organization dedicated to promoting social justice in the developing world. Under her remarkable leadership, AJWS grew exponentially-granting more than $270 million to promote human rights in the developing world and launching campaigns to end the Darfur genocide, reform international food aid, stop violence against women and LGBT people, and respond to natural disasters around the globe. She currently serves as its Global Ambassador, working to engage rabbis and interfaith leaders worldwide to work against poverty and oppression. Messinger has served on the State Department's Religion and Foreign Policy Working Group and is a member of the World Bank's Moral Imperative Task Force to End Extreme Poverty. She works to advance social justice activism in the Jewish community as a Fellow at the Jewish Theological Seminary of America and through the new Joseph Stern Center for Social Responsibility at the Manhattan JCC. She was named one of the 10 most inspiring women religious leaders by The Huffington Post and cited as the sixth most influential Jew in the world by The Jerusalem Post. This program is presented as Spertus Institute's Center for Jewish Leadership 2018 Symposium. This annual event is for corporate executives, nonprofit professionals, funders, volunteers, and students, as well as anyone who cares about breaking down barriers to solve the tough challenges of today. Tickets, priced at $18 ($10 for Spertus members and $8 for students), are available for purchase online at spertus.edu. Spertus Institute for Jewish Learning and Leadership (610 S. Michigan Avenue, Chicago), offers dynamic learning opportunities, rooted in Jewish wisdom and culture and open to all. Graduate programs and workshops train future leaders and engage individuals in exploration of Jewish life. Public programs-including films, exhibitions, speakers, seminars, workshops, and concerts-take place at the Institute's Michigan Avenue facility, in the Chicago suburbs, and online. The Center for Jewish Leadership is supported by a generous grant from the Crown Family. Spertus Institute is a partner with the Jewish United Fund in serving our community.
