Chief Development Officer
Rednik, who brings to Hadassah more than twenty years of experience in the non-profit sector, managing organizations and developing and executing multi-million-dollar fundraising campaigns, will spearhead Hadassah’s recently-announced $91.2M Full Circle Capital Campaign which will renovate and expand HMO’s historic Round Building at the Ein Kerem campus.
Weinman states, “In this year of many Hadassah centennial milestones – the 100th anniversaries of HMO, the Henrietta Szold Hadassah-Hebrew University School of Nursing and HMO’s Department of Ophthalmology – Joshua brings a wealth of exciting new fundraising ideas and strategies to further our mission of supporting HMO’s outstanding medical care for the people of Israel and the world. His successful record as President / CEO of the Diabetes Research Institute Foundation (DRIF) and his contacts in the Jewish community will be important assets for Hadassah’s fundraising strategies.”
Rednik states, “Hadassah has a long and venerable history of support and service to the land and people of Israel and a distinguished record of achievement in the US in advocacy for issues important to women. I am eager to contribute my fundraising skills on behalf of this outstanding organization.”
During Rednik’s tenure as President and CEO of the Diabetes Research Institute Foundation (DRIF) from 2014-2018, he and his team raised over $60M from foundations, corporations and individuals in support of DRIF’s mission to cure type 1 diabetes.
